I recently saw another short documentary from Agnes Varda, Uncle Yanco (1967). Varda while in San Francisco to promote a film in October of 1967, tipped by her friend Tom Luddy, gets to know a relative she had never heard of before, Jean Varda, nicknamed "Yanco". This unknown uncle lives on a boat in Sausalito, and is a painter that has adopted a hippie lifestyle. The director seems to be delighted to meet such an eccentric family member.
