Description

For over 50 years, the late great New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham took candid pictures of people near his New York studio home above Carnegie Hall, documenting how they dress and assembling a unique portrait of fashion, society and changing times. Known for being private—even monk-like— this documentary shows us the man behind the photos, chronicling his incredible working life and career and acquainting you with the perspective of an artist perpetually in search of beauty.

Admission includes a special post-screening Q&A with Isabel Slone, Features Editor at FASHION Magazine.

Co-presented with Canadian Association of Professional Image Creators, PhotoEd Magazine, Professional Photographers of Canada and Stephen Bulger Gallery
