NEDERLANDS FILM FESTIVAL

The documentary ‘Faces,’ which premiered at IDFA last year, is part of the official program of the Nederlands Film Festival (Dutch Film Festival). ‘Faces’ tells the fascinating story of French photographer and street artist JR who in March 2007 embarked on the biggest illegal photo exhibition ever. Together with his friend Marco, JR pasted enormous smiling portraits of Israeli and Palestinians who hold the same job on different sides of the wall. From the first photo shoots to the eventual pasting in such hotbeds like Bethlehem, Tel Aviv, Hebron and Ramallah: the camera was there, capturing JR’s work, the pasting, but also the emotional reactions of the people of Israel and Palestine.
