I’m not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman – not unless she is looking for new images.

Meaning of the quote

As a French director, Agnes Varda believes that a film's quality should not be judged solely based on the filmmaker's gender. She wants to see movies that explore fresh, innovative perspectives, regardless of who made them. Varda suggests that she would only be interested in a film "made by a woman" if the director is seeking to create unique, thought-provoking images and narratives, rather than following traditional approaches.
