A triptych of short documentary segments linked by Varda's photography, Cinévardaphoto spans forty years of production and includes Ulysse, an essay on memory and art linked to a blackand-white photograph she created three decades earlier (1982, 22 minutes); Salut les Cubains, a montage of photos taken while visiting Cuba just after the revolution and narrated by Varda's friend, actor Michel Piccoli (1963, 30 minutes); and Ydessa, the Bears and Etc., her documentation of a memorable museum exhibition that featured forgotten images of treasured teddy bears and their owners (2004, 44 minutes). (Subtitles, total running time 96 minutes)
