About the film

The Gleaners and I at a glance.

Screen Path places this 2000 film at stop 150 in one curated journey through cinema. The learning experience adds context before you watch and deeper analysis after.

Varda focuses her eye on gleaners: those who scour already-reaped fields for the odd potato or turnip. Her investigation leads from forgotten corners of the French countryside to off-hours at the green markets of Paris, following those who insist on finding a use for that which society has cast off, whether out of necessity or activism.
