Varda von Agnes
An unpredictable documentary from a fascinating storyteller, Agnès Varda’s film sheds light on her experience as a director, bringing a personal insight to what she calls “cine-writing”, traveling from Rue Daguerre in Paris to Los Angeles and Beijing. She provides insights into her work and illustrates artistic visions and ideas with excerpts from her oeuvre in a manner that is more associative than chronological.

The Beaches of Agnès OmU
Returning to the beaches that shaped her life, Varda creates a self-portrait in documentary form. She stages herself among excerpts from her films, photographs, and reportages, revisiting her journey with warmth and wit.

She reflects on her beginnings as a stage photographer, her emergence as an early filmmaker of the French New Wave, and her life with Jacques Demy. She also touches on her feminism, her travels to Cuba, China and the United States, her work as an independent producer and her family life.

In 2025, a large family inherits a long-abandoned house. Four cousins are tasked with cataloging its contents. As they search through the rooms, they discover ancient objects that lead them on the trail of a mysterious woman named Adèle.

At the age of twenty, Adèle left her native Normandy to settle in Paris in 1895, at a time of industrial and artistic change. While photography was emerging and Impressionism was developing, she was building her life.

Jane Austen Wrecked My Life OmU
Agathe is hopelessly clumsy, disarmingly charming and full of contradictions. Stuck in a string of failed relationships, she dreams of a love story straight out of a Jane Austen novel and longs to become a writer herself. Instead, she spends her days selling books at a legendary bookshop in Paris.

When she is invited to a Jane Austen Writers’ Residency in England, Agathe is forced to confront her doubts and fears. Far from her familiar routines, she must decide whether she is ready to claim her voice as a novelist and stop sabotaging her own romantic life.

Zero Fucks Given (Originaltitle: Rien à foutre)
At 26, Cassandre criss-crosses the skies as a flight attendant for a low-cost airline. She lives in the moment, carried along by the frenetic pace of flights and one-night stands, true to her Tinder alias: “Carpe Diem”. Her life seems light, free, almost elusive — a beautiful escape without roots, where each stopover is a promise of oblivion.

But one day, an incident cracks this suspended bubble. Reality catches up with her, forcing her to put her feet on the ground and face what she has been running away from. So Cassandre must choose: continue to run away from everything, or dive into the depths of her buried pain to find those she left behind.

On the Adamant (Originaltitle: Sur l’Adamant)
The Adamant is a unique day center: it is a floating building. It was built on the Seine in the heart of Paris and takes in adults with mental disorders. It offers them a treatment environment that provides them with structure in terms of time and space, helps them reconnect with the world, and gives them new momentum. The team that runs it is among those who are trying to resist the decline and dehumanization of psychiatry as best they can. This film invites us to come aboard to meet the patients and caregivers who are reinventing everyday life day after day.
