New York, NY - The Cinema Guild is pleased to announce the release of another gem from beloved French filmmaker Agnes Varda, "DAGUERREOTYPES." Originally released in 1975, we are proud to present this film for the first time on DVD as it joins both "The Beaches of Agnes" and "Cinevardaphoto" in our collection.

"DAGUERREOTYPES" will be available to own August 30, 2011 for $29.95. Prebook is July 26, 2011

Synopsis
A classic documentary from Agnes Varda available for the first time in the U.S., Daguerreotypes is a wonderfully intimate portrait of the small shops and shopkeepers on a short stretch of the Rue Daguerre, a picturesque street that has been the filmmaker's home for more than 50 years. As in her films "The Beaches of Agnes" and "The Gleaners and I", Varda opens up a fantastic world in microcosm; a picture of a city and a way of life that no longer exist.
