Digital Platform ‘The Gleaners and I’ Brings Agnès Varda to Next Generation of Filmmakers
Backed by Martin Scorsese, the platform gives film students free access to 60 hours of Varda's rushes.
Supported by Martin Scorsese, the pedagogical platform will open the treasure trove of Agnès Varda’s archives, making never-before-seen footage and hours of unused rushes available to nascent filmmakers across the globe. Through “The Gleaners and I,” students at participating universities will be able to re-edit and completely rethink Varda’s 2000 documentary of the same name — pooling from 62 hours of rushes, all subtitled in English – under the proviso that each new clip edit be uploaded back on to the platform. At the same time, the platform offers a great pedagogical tool for editing, sound mixing, documentary writing and directing by allowing students to compare their work to Agnès’ film.”
