Faces Places: A Truly Profound Collaboration
Experience the Academy Award-nominated masterpiece, Faces Places, which celebrates art, community, and the beauty of human connection.
This film chronicles the charming, unique collaboration between octogenarian director Agnès Varda and thirty-something street photographer JR. The duo travels through rural France in their roving camera-mobile, capturing authentic portraits of the people they meet, from farmers to former miners.
Their collaborative process yields large-scale, striking portraits that are then pasted onto local buildings and public spaces. The film documents the profound impact these colossal images have on both the subjects and the communities they visit, showing how meaningful traditions persist against encroaching modernity.
More than a road movie, Faces Places is an ode to artisans and an intergenerational buddy film. It’s a bittersweet, puckishly profound reflection on art, relationships, and life itself. Join us for this powerful cinematic memory.
