FACES PLACES

FACES PLACES (VISAGES VILLAGES), 2017
France | DCP, Color, 94 min | French
Directors: Agnès Varda, JR

Faces Places is a film about an extremely special encounter and an unparalleled collaboration: It is a joint project-film by Agnès Varda and French street artist and photographer JR. The 90-year-old artist Varda, who for a period of over sixty years has been producing works from films to photographs and from video installations to sculpture, visits French villages with the young JR. While the pair converse with people, take photographs and exhibit the photographs they’ve taken, they also try to become friends and get to know each other better. Faces Places is a profoundly warm and special diary-travel film about art, aging, sharing and travelling by two very special artists.
