On 27 May 2017, the documentary "Faces Places" (Visages Villages) was awarded the Golden Eye for best documentary at the Cannes Film Festival.

Why talk about a film on a blog mostly dedicated to photography? Because this documentary by Agnès Varda and JR tells a story about photography.

Faces Places

This 89-minute documentary takes us through the journey of Agnès Varda and JR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dub2vfVU56k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dub2vfVU56k They travel the roads of France in search of spontaneous or planned encounters. By car and in JR's photographic truck, far from the big cities, they combine their two ways of reaching out to others. In cinemas from 28 June 2017.
