Let's Talk Film: Agnes Varda

'Let's Talk Film' is a new social film night at The Electric Palace, a regular space for film fans to meet up in Hastings and discuss all things film!

Whether you’re a budding cinephile or a seasoned filmgoer then this an inviting opportunity to share your love for cinema through informal discussion in an open space and take a closer look at the life and work of the auteurs of the big screen - the individuals behind the camera who have called the shots and crafted cinema experiences that have enthralled generations of moviegoers.

This month we welcome artist and filmmaker, Rebecca E Marshall to join host Ben Newell on a deep dive into the films and life of classic Nouvelle Vague director and legendary feminist auteur, Agnes Varda. Join the conversation...

• "Interesting, moving and magical evening with some lovely people. Thanks for the fab talk Ben."
• "A delightful evening of unique insight and stories."
• "Film is a powerful medium to provoke thought, spark conversations, and unite people through shared stories."

Doors open at 7pm for informal pre-talk chat.
Talk begins at 7.30pm.
Half time interval for discussion.
Talk concludes at 9.30pm.
Bar remains open until 10pm for further group chat.

Hosted by film historian Ben Newell, who has worked as a film festival supervisor and film programmer in a number of cinemas and festivals around the UK including the Edinburgh Film Festival, Glasgow School of Art and Lonsdale Cinema in Carlisle.
