CinémaTuesdays in February: Carte Blanche to Agnès b.
FIAF is thrilled to invite French fashion designer Agnès b. to curate a month-long series of films that have most influenced her life and career as a designer, photographer, and, more recently, as a fashion film producer and director.
Cinema plays an important role in Agnès b.’s world. Her love of black and white films and the casual elegance of New Wave cinema are reflected in the straight lines of her classic designs and fashion films, which all pay homage to the cinematic art form.

Jean-Luc Godard, 1965. Color. 110 min.
With Jean- Paul Belmondo, Anna Karina, Graziella Galvani
In French with English subtitles
Ferdinand, a bored bourgeois husband, takes up with the babysitter in a burst of rebellion, tearing down his identity. Pierrot le fou captures Godard at a crossroads—it’s a boundary-pushing marriage of the history of cinema and a struggle to explore new forms of storytelling.
