Agnès Varda’s New ‘Women’s Tales’ Short to Debut at Venice Film Fest

Agnes Varda and Alice Rohrwacher’s short films for Miu Miu’s Women’s Tales series will have their world festival premiere at the 2015 Venice Film Festival.

Varda’s “Les 3 Boutons” and Rohrwacher’s “De Djess” will screen on September 3 as part of the festival’s Venice Days section. You can also watch the gorgeous “De Djess,” which was released online earlier this year, here.

Rohrwacher is an Italian filmmaker best known for her sophomore feature “The Wonders,” which won the Grand Prix at Cannes last year. Varda, of course, needs no introduction.

Previous “Women’s Tales” contributors include Ava DuVernay, Miranda July, So Yong Kim, Lucrecia Martel, Hiam Abbass and Zoe Cassavetes. The shorts series is described by Miu Miu as a critical celebration of femininity in the 21st century. You can watch them all on the fashion brand’s site.

The 2015 Venice Film Festival will run from September 2 to 12.
