See iconic actress, model, and muse Jane Birkin as you never have before in this rare pairing of films by legendary Paris-based filmmaker Agnès Varda. 

Newly restored and never released in the US, Jane B. par Agnès V. is a poetic documentary portrait of Birkin’s many faces and roles that also features actor Jean-Pierre Léaud; iconic French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, Birkin’s collaborator and lover; and their daughter Charlotte, now a notable actress and songwriter. (97 mins., DCP) Kung-Fu Master takes its name from the video game played obsessively by a teenager (Mathieu Demy, son of Varda and director Jacques Demy), who becomes the object of affection for single mother of two (Jane Birkin) in this earnest and matter-of-fact “May-December” romance. (80 mins., DCP)
