The Gleaners and I | Ciné-Salon | Jan 9

Les Glaneurs et la Glaneuse (The Gleaners and I)

Directed by Agnès Varda • 2000 • France • with Bodan Litnanski, François Wertheimer

An 1867 painting by Jean-Francois Millet inspired septuagenarian documentarian Agnes Varda to cross the French countryside to videotape people who scavenge. Taking everything from surplus in the fields, to rubbish in trashcans, to oysters washed up after a storm, the "gleaners" range from those sadly in need to those hoping to recreate the community activity of centuries past, and still others who use whatever they find to cobble together a rough art. Highlighted by Varda's amusing narration.

This Ciné-Salon is inspired by the Seattle Art Museum exhibit Farm to Table: Art, Food, and Identity in the Age of Impressionism.

Please note: Participants in the Ciné-Salon are expected to watch the film before attending the Friday discussion.
