Paper & Glue

Pulled from vast archives documenting 20 years of behind-the-scenes moments in the life of the anonymous French artist JR - intercut with verité footage of his current-day collaborations in such diverse places as a California supermax prison and a free film school in the projects outside of Paris - Paper & Glue turns JR's large-scale public art projects into something very personal and intimate. Neither a biopic, nor an art film, this documentary is a journey that lets audiences discover for themselves the beauty that emerges when those who are too often forgotten are finally given their own spotlight.
