Faces Places is a documentary that sees iconic filmmaker Agnès Varda make a a long-awaited return to filmmaking in the year of her 90th birthday.
She forges an unexpected collaboration with photographer JR as they embark on a road trip like no other.
The two artists share a passion for images and how they're created, displayed and shared; Varda through cinema, JR through his emotionally arresting outdoor installations.
Inspired by this connection, they set out in JR's photo booth-enhanced truck, exploring the villages and small towns of rural France.
What follows is a heart-warming insight into unnamed communities, documented in a typically playful and tender manner.
A Cannes Film Festival award-winner and Academy Award nominee, Faces Places is a deeply charming and life-affirming film.
The film commences at 8pm at Gerringong Town Hall. Tickets available from 7.20pm. After the film, stay for tea, coffee and cakes ($4) and take the time to discuss the film, or anything else, in a relaxed social atmosphere.
Yearly memberships are available.
