agnes varda's the gleaners and i screening tonight

Bell Museum Film Nights kicks off tonight with a film by French film legend Agnes Varda.  Every 3rd Thursday the Bell Museum will be screening a film about collecting of the scientific variety or otherwise.  Tonight's film, The Gleaners and I, follows food hunters:

Stemming from a 14th-century word, traditional gleaners scoured a field after a reaper or harvester had passed. Director Agnes Varda travels the French countryside to interview modern day gleaners, who pick through what others throw away for fun and survival.

I'm not sure how an activity can be simultaneously for "fun" and "survival," but I guess that's what makes the subject matter all the more intriguing.
