Episode Description

Hello and welcome to Episode 2 of our Agnès Varda Deep Dive! It is clear that La Pointe Courte is a useful starting point for exploring her filmography, because it sets the tone for not only her love for people and places, but also her deep connection to the medium itself.

Join us to discuss the way Varda both relies on and subverts a dependence on temporality to frame her feminist exploration of existentialism.

The Talkingship podcast was born as an excuse for Jitterbug and Nerves to get together once a week and drink beer, talk nonsense, and make each other laugh. Over the course of nearly a decade, the show soldiered on, creating a massive library of shows that at one point were lost in time. That changes today!Talkingship set up a Patreon account to allow fans to help pay for the release of the original TS shows that weren't available on the regular feed.
