FILM: Faces Places (2017) (1hr 29mins) dir. Visages Villages Jr and Agnès Varda

ABOUT: Agnes Varda, whose unique cinematic vision since the 1950s has earned her a loyal following of enthusiastic cinephiles around the world, and the iconic photographer/muralist JR, boasting over a million followers on Instagram, have more in common than one might imagine. Both share a lifelong passion for images and how they are created, displayed, and shared. When JR, a long-time fan, went to meet Agnes, they both knew immediately they wanted to work together. FACES PLACES documents their heart-warming journey through rural France and the unlikely, tender friendship they formed along the way.
