Acts of Care: Visages Villages – film screening by dispositif x Dokhuis
Agnès Varda is one of the great figures of French cinema. In this documentary, she teams up with street artist JR and travels through rural France, photographing ordinary people and pasting their portraits on walls, silos, and buildings, giving her full attention to everyone she meets.
We could not think of a better film to close the season before the summer break. It is a film that feels like a natural Acts of Care film, a good moment to think together about art, community, and their role in the neighbourhood.
After the screening we move outside for a garden picnic. Bring a blanket, a frisbee, or a game. We will have food and drinks ready.
Acts of Care is a monthly film series at dokhuis, organized together with dispositif film club, that brings together works from different times and places to reflect on care in its many forms. Each screening is followed by either food, discussions with guests, or informal conversation, creating an open and inclusive space for sharing and reflection.
