This special issue recognizes the work and legacy of Agnes Varda
(1928-2019), a Belgian-born film director, screenwriter,
photographer, and artist whose work was part of the French New Wave
film movement of the 1950s and 1960s. In the wake of Varda's
passing in March 2019, contributors offer reflections on the
continued relevance of her work. Until the end of her life, Varda
was engaged with feminism, ethics, politics, and the representation
of women in the film industry. Rather than focusing on Varda's most
famous films, the contributors to this issue consider aspects of
her oeuvre that have contemporary relevance and those that point to
the future: films, art installations, and photographs that have
received less scholarly attention; her political activism; her role
as manager of her own production company; and her Instagram
presence. By emphasizing these often-overlooked elements of Varda's
creative output, the contributors reveal the depth of her artistic
legacy and demonstrate how vastly important and interconnected her
entire body of work is. Contributors Dominique Bluher, Nadine
Boljkovac, Kelley Conway, Rebecca J. DeRoo, Sandy Flitterman-Lewis,
Colleen Kennedy-Karpat, Homay King, Matt St. John, Emma Wilson
