De ses liens avec l'histoire de l'art à sa dimension sociale et politique, Viva Varda ! parcourt les grands thèmes de l'oeuvre polymorphe d'Agnès Varda (1928-2019). La photographe, cinéaste et artiste a déployé sur soixante-dix ans une oeuvre personnelle et fondamentalement ancrée dans le temps. Sa filmographie compte plus de quarante courts et longs-métrages naviguant entre fiction et documentaire, dont les incontournables Cléo de 5 à 7 (1962), Sans toit ni loi (1985), Les Glaneurs et la Glaneuse (2000) et Visages Villages (2017). Précurseuse de la Nouvelle Vague, elle est l'une des rares femmes de sa génération à avoir fait carrière en tant que réalisatrice. Globe-trotteuse et artiste de conviction, Varda témoigne aussi d'une grande attention au monde et aux bouleversements sociaux. Son oeuvre, traversée par les thèmes du féminisme et de la marginalité, demeure d'une très grande actualité. Ce livre, sous la direction de Florence Tissot, accompagne la première exposition rétrospective d'Agnès Varda, conçue par la Cinémathèque française. Il regroupe des textes de spécialistes français et anglo-saxons, ainsi qu'une filmographie commentée par de nombreuses personnalités. Préfacé par Costa-Gavras, il est illustré de plus de 300 documents (archives, images de films, oeuvres d'art, photographies, etc.), dont de nombreux inédits, provenant en grande partie des archives personnelles d'Agnès Varda conservées à Ciné-Tamaris, la société familiale qu'elle a créée, gérée par Rosalie Varda et Mathieu Demy.

"Without didacticism, Film Fatales addresses the complexity of... issues, problems and conflicts for women directors. We hope this book will make more people aware of both how accomplished women directors are... and how many obstacles women stil face. Film Fatales is not a semiotic text nor a collection of film theory or criticism. Although we have incorporated some criticism into the profiles of these filmmakers as well as some of our own wealth of information on cinema, our primary goal was to present and contextualize the work of these women by allowing them to speak in their own words about their work, what it means and why they do it, as directors who have had to battle in various ways to get their work made, exhibited and distributed." - Page 22.

Among early Hollywood's most renowned filmmakers, Lois Weber was considered one of the era's "three great minds" alongside D. W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille. Despite her accomplishments, Weber has been marginalized in relation to her contemporaries, who have long been recognized as fathers of American cinema. Drawing on a range of materials untapped by previous historians, Shelley Stamp offers the first comprehensive study of Weber's remarkable career as director, screenwriter, and actress. Lois Weber in Early Hollywood provides compelling evidence of the extraordinary role that women played in shaping American movie culture. Weber made films on capital punishment, contraception, poverty, and addiction, establishing cinema's power to engage topical issues for popular audiences. Her work grappled with the profound changes in women's lives that unsettled Americans at the beginning of the twentieth century, and her later films include sharp critiques of heterosexual marriage and consumer capitalism. Mentor to many women in the industry, Weber demanded a place at the table in early professional guilds, decrying the limited roles available for women on-screen and in the 1920s protesting the growing climate of hostility toward female directors. Stamp demonstrates how female filmmakers who had played a part in early Hollywood's bid for respectability were in the end written out of that industry's history. Lois Weber in Early Hollywood is an essential addition to histories of silent cinema, early filmmaking in Los Angeles, and women's contributions to American culture.
