Ava DuVernay, Chloë Sevigny Talk Female Gaze, Agnes Varda and Claire Denis at Miu Miu’s Tales & Tellers Opening for Art Basel Paris
Ava DuVernay, Chloë Sevigny were among the dozens of stars who took part in Miu Miu's Tales & Tellers vernissage at Art Basel Paris.
The retrospective exhibition, designed and curated by Goshka Macuga and Elvira Dyangani Ose, features Miu Miu commissioned shorts from the likes of DuVernay, Sevigny, Zoe R. Cassavetes (“Broken English”), Lila Avilés (“Tótem”), Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović(“Murina”), Crystal Moselle (“Skate Kitchen”), Carla Simón (“Alcarràs”), Catherine Martin (“Elvis”), Haifaa Al-Mansour (“Wadjda”) and Isabel Sandoval (“Lingua Franca”) – all of whom were on site for two days of panels exploring questions of femininity, vanity and the female gaze. Since 2011, the twice-a-year anthology offers female directors carte blanche to bring their visions to life, with annual commissions shared by established heavyweights like Lucrecia Martel and Lynne Ramsay as by emerging talents fresh from the festival circuit. The opening vernissage proved an emotional – and sometimes surreal – affair once the filmmakers witnessed their own characters and creations leap off the screen and through the halls of a concrete Art Deco palace.
