Thursday, March 19th, 7:00 - 8:00 PM CT on Zoom

Visages villages (Faces Places) Agnès Varda and artist JR 2017

Agnès Varda et JR ont des points communs : passion et questionnement sur les images en général et plus précisément sur les lieux et les dispositifs pour les montrer, les partager, les exposer. Agnès a choisi le cinéma. JR a choisi de créer des galeries de photographies en plein air. Quand Agnès et JR se sont rencontrés en 2015, ils ont aussitôt eu envie de travailler ensemble, tourner un film en France, loin des villes, en voyage avec le camion photographique (et magique) de JR. Hasard des rencontres ou projets préparés, ils sont allés vers les autres, les ont écoutés, photographiés et parfois affichés. Le film raconte aussi l’histoire de leur amitié qui a grandi au cours du tournage, entre surprises et taquineries, en se riant des différences.

Faces Places (French: Visages Villages) is a 2017 French documentary film directed by filmmaker Agnès Varda and artist JR. The film documents the duo as they journey through rural France, capturing the portraits of the people they meet along the way. Their collaborative process leads them to create large-scale portraits, which are then displayed on buildings and other public spaces, leaving a profound impact on both the subjects and the communities they visit.
