Agnès Varda's NYC footage of Pier Paolo Pasolini to make its North American Premiere at the New York Film Festival
“Pier Paolo Pasolini – Agnès Varda – New York – 1967” is a short documentary shot with 16 mm color film by the French director Agnès Varda in New York City. The two were in town for the 4th edition of the New York Film Festival. The footage shows Pasolini walking around Times Square narrated by a Q&A voiceover between the two discussing filmmaking, Christianity and life.
The clarity is stunning for a film made more than 50 years ago. The footage was discovered in 2021, two years after Varda’s death, and restored by Cine-Tamaris, in collaboration with L’Immagine Ritrovata.
The film will precede screenings of Alice Rohrwacher’s “La Chimera” and other NYFF61 Main Slate selections, including Pictures of Ghosts, and Revivals selection Return to Reason: Short Films by Man Ray. Click here for the complete lineup and schedule.
