Mix a super buddy movie with an enlightening road trip, and still you’re nowhere near the fascinating documentary Faces Places, which comes to Plymouth Arts Centre supported by an amazing line-up at the next Reclaim The Frame gig.
Face Places won the Golden Eye Award at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Best Documentary Feature award at this year’s Academy Awards.
It ‘is a deeply charming and life-affirming look at not only the subtle power of community, but the inspiration that can emerge from the most unexpected of friendships’, says the blurb.
“Watching great artists at work is always a treat,” said Jordan Hoffman in the Guardian when he caught the flick (then called Visages, Villages) at Cannes 2017.
I’ve watched it it’s great, the way they capture the interest of and galvanize communities to participate is fantastic, really enjoyed watching it 🙂👍
