Often overlooked, Frenchwoman Agnes Varda was one of the most experimentative filmmakers of her time, earning herself the title of Grandmother of the Frenchu00a0New Wave.

“Her films are extremely entertaining,” says Pranav Ashar, founder, Enlighten, who realised how much Indian audiences enjoyed her films after he screened Varda’s Jacquot de Nantes a few times. The film, which is about Varda’s husband, commercial film director Jacques Demy, is one of her earliest works.
