The Photo Film Club presents a one-night-only screening of BILL CUNNINGHAM NEW YORK.
Bill Cunningham, the legendary and beloved street fashion photographer and style columnist for the New York Times was considered by many to be a national treasure.
With a five-decades-long visual trove of cultural expression, individual flair, time and place, Bill captured the style of New York's elegant uptowners and downtown eccentrics alike.
An unlikely man-about-town, Bill Cunningham travelled around New York City by bike, taking photos of street fashion. Averse to attention, Cunningham finally agreed to step in front of the camera for this documentary.
Fashion photographer and anti-materialist may seem a contradiction in terms but it describes the life of the disarming and always charming New York Times photographer, Bill Cunningham, subject of this highly entertaining documentary.
Beginning his fashion career as a milliner in the 1940s, Cunningham discovered what has become a lifelong passion for capturing street fashion on camera. A recognisable figure both on the streets of Manhattan and the catwalks of Paris Fashion Week, his life is as inspiring as is his love of photography. ‘Bill Cunningham New York’ shows the influence, inspiration and fun which street fashion can hold for us all.
