‘Women Are Heroes’ a film by JR (Trailer)
Spotted over at Juxtapoz:
“JR’s highly anticipated debut feature film Women Are Heroes will have it’s world premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The legendary French photographer has been working on the film for the past two years.”
The trailer speaks for itself. This looks like it will be a powerful film to shed some light on stories we often don’t get to hear about from our “media”.
Sidenote: If anyone knows how I can get tickets to Cannes…drop me a comment. From what I Googled, it seems pretty much impossible unless you’re a part of Hollywood.

Saber – Pepper’s World (Preview)
From jetsetgraffiti.com:
“Pepper is a true street artist in the purist sense. Hes known to some by his altar ego; the Mayor of Skid Row, and hes proud to proclaim that hes the last homeless person on the forefront of downtown LAs gentrification. He lives on Santa Fe Ave. where years ago a large tent city used to be, the last holdout.When I was younger and creeping around downtown, I would notice these colorful, bold, and scrappy art installations. Pepper has a habit of decorating his immediate surroundings, wherever that might be, with multi-colored paint splats, piled on discarded toys, and other purposefully arranged found objects. You can frequently catch him running around the city with his red shopping cart full of freshly discarded trinkets.
The print Peppers World, and the mural I painted on 7th and Mateo that it inspired, is in homage to his existence. I have enormous respect for those who can survive in such extreme conditions yet still be able to express themselves creatively.” -SABER, 2010

He supposedly will be shown and speaking on camera for the first time ever. To be honest with you, I’ll believe it when I see it. Looking forward to this one…
