February is Agnès Varda month at CaixaForum+ with Cleo de 5 a 7 and Varda por Agnès

In collaboration with the Barcelona Film Fest and A Contracorriente Films, each month will be dedicated to a fundamental director in the history of cinema and you will be able to see a documentary about his or her career together with one of his or her most outstanding films. This month we offer you 'Cleo de 5 a 7' and 'Varda por Agnès'. Both will be available on the platform from 1 to 28 February.

Cleo, a young singer, goes to a hospital for a biopsy. Waiting for the results of the medical test, she wanders the streets of Paris for two hours. She crosses paths with friends and strangers, like a soldier about to leave for Algeria. As they talk and walk, Cleo confronts her own selfishness, finding peace and opening her eyes to the world.

Director: Agnès Varda - France, Italy, 1962

A unique and unpredictable documentary film by a fascinating storyteller. Agnès Varda sheds light on her experience as a director and gives a personal insight into what she called "film writing". Passion and wisdom in a life lesson. An excellent letter of introduction for newcomers and a wonderful parting gift for film buffs already familiar with her work.
