Osterfestival Tirol – Visages Villages (2017) 2023

The 90-year-old director icon Agnès Varda and the 33-year-old street artist JR set out with their unique photomobile to discover and immortalise France's people and their stories: in larger-than-life portraits on façades, trains and shipping containers. From Provence to Normandy, they dedicate their art to people - be it the postman, the factory worker or the last inhabitant of a street in a former mining area. Landscapes are transformed into stages, faces tell of forgotten legends and looks become encounters of warmth and humour. Nouvelle Vague legend Agnès Varda and photographer JR not only share a passion for images, but also a fine sense for people and the poetry of the moment. Moments: Faces of a Journey (Visages Villages) is a cinematic stroke of luck that captures with a special lightness the touching encounters of a journey - just like the unlikely and tender friendship that develops between the artist and the artist. The film received an Oscar nomination in the Best Documentary category in 2018.
