Paper & Glue

Dir. JR USA 94 min

2021 MSNBC Films

Paper & Glue is a feature-length documentary that follows acclaimed French artist JR (Agnès Varda's Faces Places collaborator) around the globe as he builds some of his most monumental projects, challenging perspectives and uniting communities through his thought-provoking work.

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 JR as he turns these communities inside out, turning images of residents into eye-catching and immersive art installations.

In Paper & Glue, JR uses his vision and style to desensitize the general public’s “out of sight, out of mind” approach to those who are suffering. JR uses his platform to weave together these emotionally reflective present-day portraits to represent the global voice of women and men unheard.
