"Grande Dame of the French New Wave" has made one of the most
acclaimed documentaries of 2001, winner of the best non-fiction film award
from the New York, Los Angeles and Boston film critics associations, and
the National Society of Film Critics. Varda trains her ever-seeking eye
on "gleaners", those who pick at already- harvested fields for
the odd potato or turnip, who insist on finding a use for what society
has determined it has no use for. Her investigation leads us from forgotten
corners of the French countryside to off-hours at the green markets in
Paris where her diverse and resourceful subjects share their life styles
and choices. Varda's own ruminations on her life as a filmmaker (a gleaner
of sorts), gives her a connection to her subjects that creates a touching
human portrait that the L.A. Weekly called "a protest film that's
part social critique, part travelogue, but always an unsentimental celebration
of human resilience." That’s The Gleaners & I, a film by Anges Varda, free admission, at the Miami Beach Cinema Garden, 210 2nd Street Miami Beach, Thursday, January 9, 2003 at 7 p.m. For lovers of the French New Wave films, this Free night Under the stars in Miami Beach is unquestionably a "must see". Acclaimed, “one of the best documentaries of 2001,” The Gleaners & I offers every film-lover a complete cinematic experience. For those who have never seen Anges Varda's unique style, this is an excellent opportunity to view it for the first time. And admission is free; what could be better? So don’t miss this free event in Miami Beach! Thursday. January 9th, at the Miami Beach Cinema Garden, 210 2nd Street, Miami Beach. Admission is Free. The Independent Feature Project/Miami (IFP/Miami) is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to foster a vibrant independent filmmaking community, by teaching, assisting and facilitating filmmakers to write and produce great, new films. # # #
