#267 - New Korean Cinema and Varda by Agnés
This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we preview our new series Relentless Invention: New Korean Cinema, 1996–2003, starting this Friday at Film at Lincoln Center and continuing through December 4. Grady Hendrix of Subway Cinema and FLC programmer Tyler Wilson discuss how a generation of filmmakers, from Bong Joon Ho to Park Chan-wook, created homegrown blockbusters that imbued the pleasures of pop cinema with a subversive, gleefully inventive approach to genre and a sharp sociopolitical edge.

During the 57th New York Film Festival, Agnès’ daughter and producer Rosalie Varda joined us for a Q&A, moderated by programmer Florence Almozini, following a sold-out screening of her swan song. She discusses the emotional journey of making the film and how it's a fitting farewell to the legendary filmmaker, told in her own words.
