Hello, I’m back with four new recommendations: two 2023 releases, a classic you can only find on YouTube, and an Agnès Varda documentary that’s perfect for this time of year.

I love the idea of a Varda finger puppet, seems like she would have liked it, too. Let me know what you think of Showing Up. I thought it was a pretty funny, honest take on the daily struggle to make art, showing all the little things that get in the way. Thanks for reading, Kerri!
‘The Gleaners and I’ is an all time favourite…I’ve actually made a few Agnès Varda finger puppets for some different people over the years, and one was based on this pic of her with the wheat over her shoulder :) Also, I love Kelly Reichardt films so much, but haven’t watched ‘Showing Up’ yet…as someone who has struggled to make art since having a kid almost 9 years ago, I think I was worried it might fee a bit too on the nose, or something. But I’m actually excited about it, and will watch soon. Thanks as always for all these recommendations!
