Key Highlights

  • “His films have contributed immensely to the legacy of and continued discourse surrounding cinéma vérité and its relation to truth and falsity—but Depardon himself always stressed the role of freedom and imagination in his engagement with the real.
  • Depardon is particularly renowned for his work as a photojournalist (he was a co-founder of the Gamma photojournalist agency), and his photographs, like his films, embody a humanist curiosity and profound empathy, whether his subject is everyday rural life or the ravages of war.” Related Stories News George Clooney To Be Honored With Lincoln Center's 2026 Chaplin Award News Film At Lincoln Center Relaunching 'Scary Movies' Series, Lineup Includes Alexander Ullom's 'It Ends' & Harry Kümel's 'Daughters of Darkness' -- Trailer FLC continues, “Capturing myriad facets of life in France and elsewhere, his wide-ranging eye has borne witness to a variety of subjects—the French legal system, a psychiatric hospital in Venice, the evolution of the international paparazzi, life in the French countryside, Depardon’s own memories of the political turbulences of the 1960s and ’70s—and has served as a lens by which his viewer can glimpse a reality that exists beyond the limits of language.” Watch on Deadline The retrospective continues from Feb.
