The photographer, artist and film director, has died at the age of 90.

Engaged and visionary, Agnès Varda was one of the key figures in the French New Wave. She has been a faithful visitor to the Rencontres d'Arles, which devoted her a night at the Théâtre Antique in 1982 and an exhibition throughout the city in 1994.

The Rencontres d'Arles pays tribute to her.
