During the retrospective on Agnes Varda in Cinematek Brussels, Offoff introduces Varda's obscure transatlantic counterpart: Chick Strand, along with Bruce Baille co-founder of the legendary Canyon Cinema, but above all,  film maker. She was a pioneer in mixing experimental film with documentary cinema and each time she managed to confirm the flexibility of the human mind. 

We present an overview of her oeuvre, both the etnographic experiments and the more lyrical works. Ranging from her early films, such as Anselmo, a Mexican child she repeatedly portrayed, to Soft Fiction, recently declared the peak of cinema from the late 70's by Tate. Here it is the feminine sensuality that is confirmed in its obstinance.
