Quote of Note | Ellen von Unwerth

Posted in: Uncategorized

(Ellen von Unwerth)
Ellen von Unwerth’s “Kissing Booth” (2002)

“Shooting film is a little bit more exciting. It’s more precious, and it’s more technical. You take it out and even the assistant is proud. Everything seems to be more electric. With digital you shoot and shoot, and it doesn’t cost anything. The moment is not as precious.”

–Ellen von Unwerth in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. An exhibition of her photographs, “Made in America,” is on view through January 4 at L.A.’s Fahey/Klein Gallery.

Enigmatic Photographer Vivian Maier Gets Close-Up in Documentary

Posted in: Charlie Siskel, Finding Vivian Maier, Howard Greenberg, John Maloof, Vivian Maier

finding viv

It’s Vivian Maier‘s moment. The enigmatic Chicago nanny-cum-master street photographer died in 2009 at the age of 87, leaving behind more than 100,000 photographs from a lifetime of shooting. Now her life and work are the subject of a cultural triple play, with an exhibition on view through December 14 at New York’s Howard Greenberg gallery that coincides with the publication of Vivian Maier: Self-Portraits (powerHouse), setting the stage for the November 17 U.S. premiere of Finding Vivian Maier at the DOC NYC film festival.

The documentary, directed and produced by John Maloof and Charlie Siskel (Bowling for Columbine, Religulous) with the help of Kickstarter backers, unravels the life of the now famous Maier as well as Maloof’s journey to piece together her past. Its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival generated not only buzz but a deal with Killer Films to develop the documentary into a narrative feature (we’re thinking Frances McDormand would make a great Viv).
