Description

A must-see documentary film where acclaimed French artist JR confronts prejudice and uplifts communities through larger-than-life art. In PAPER & GLUE, JR turns the camera on his own work as he builds some of his most monumental projects. From early illicit graffiti videos captured on Paris rooftops at night, to the US-Mexico border, to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, to a current collaboration at a California supermax prison, the film follows the director as he turns these communities inside out, turning images of residents into eye-catching and immersive art installations. PAPER & GLUE follows the Oscar-nominated FACE PLACES, which was directed by JR along with Agnès Varda. Cinema Celebration and DJ set immediately following the screening in the Ballroom. Film tickets available for pick-up at the SteamPlant Box Office beginning Monday, May 9 and up until the start of this screening.
