A farming community gathers on a plateau on the border of three regions for the funeral of traditional agriculture. It’s a film to ward off the disappearance of a millenary culture.
An interview with Agnes Varda and JR.
Director
JR, a contemporary artist, returns to Clichy-Montfermeil in the suburbs of Paris where his artistic adventure first began 14 years ago with Ladj Ly, his strongest link to the neighborhood. Both decide to create a monumental mural portraying a singular portrait of the inhabitants of this territory, inspired by the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. "The Clichy-Montfermeil Chronicles" not only illustrates how an urban utopia of the 1960’s has transformed into a neighborhood in a state of unrest, but also sheds a light on subjects JR and Ladj Ly covered over a decade ago.

A small town in southern Italy is invested by one who will become one of the most important festival of Street Art of the world. Creating a myth through a course of improvisation, chaos and devotion.
Director
Ellis, a fourteen-minute film directed by JR and written by Academy Award winner Eric Roth, tells the elusive story of countless immigrants whose pursuit of a new life led them to the now-shuttered Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital. Following its opening in 1902, approximately 1.2 million people passed through the facility, where the Statue of Liberty can be seen from the windows. Languishing in a sort of purgatory awaiting their fate, many were never discharged.

O artista francês JR leva-nos a locais dos quais já ouvimos falar na televisão quando alguma tragédia se abate sobre eles, mas que se encontram afastados dos habituais destinos turísticos. Trabalhando disfarçado, ele transforma as ruas, os edifícios, as favelas em verdadeiras galerias de arte, obrigando os transeuntes a ver Arte que, de outro modo, não encontrariam. A sua motivação é trazer à superfície questões fundamentais. Ele apresenta mulheres generosas que nada têm mas que estão disponíveis para partilhar, mulheres com passados dolorosos e que querem construir um futuro radioso.

Himself
At 35 years old, photographer JR is a street art worldwide star. Discovered after the Paris’ suburb riots of 2005 for his portraits of young people, his collages have adorned the galleries of the Louvre, the Pompidou Center, the Pantheon, the National Assembly ever since … From New York to Shanghai, and the Israeli-Palestinian wall to the US-Mexico border, he has stuck or exhibited giant photos on the walls of dozens of countries and associated hundreds of thousands of unknown artists with his projects. With the active collaboration of the artist himself, the documentary “# JR” tells the extraordinary adventure of this art activist whose spectacular interventions are all clear expressions of humanism, pacifism or remembrance relayed by his very strong involvement in social networks. For JR, art can help change the world.
