snacks will be provided. Hope you can join us. Margaret
The Gleaners and I
Agnès Varda
Voted the best documentary of 2001 by the National Society of Film
Critics, Agnès Varda’s universally acclaimed “wandering-road
documentary” focuses her ever-seeking eye on gleaners: those who scour
already-reaped fields for the odd potato or turnip. Her investigation
leads us from forgotten corners of the French countryside to off-hours
at the green markets of Paris. The film challenges not only the
representations of those who scour the trash, but how those who have
been "thrown out" of society are not at all what is expected.
