Faces Places (Visages villages)
Nominated as Best Documentary Feature at the 2018 Academy Awards, Faces Places is an affectionate snapshot of community life as seen through the lenses of two French artists, who share a passion for capturing and displaying images. Filmmaker Agnes Varda marks her 90th birthday by joining celebrated photographer JR on a momentous road trip to explore the small towns and villages of rural France. As the two creatives arrive at each close-knit community, they meet the residents and conjure large-scale portraits of the locals, which are displayed in unconventional locations. In the process, Varda and JR forge a touching cross-generational friendship inside his photo booth-enhanced truck.
