wow....... really.?Not available in Canada, although I understand the PBS App may recently have been made available here.
It was great in the theatre, particularly with the writer and director available to answer questions afterward.
The film was featured as an adjunct presentation to the Vancouver International Film Festival. The organization that runs that festival normally brings in films throughout the year and tries to offer these sorts of things as regularly as they can. There are a lot of such sessions during the festival itself.wow....... really.?
Did they do that "A Lot"...... or did you guys get lucky.?
Right..... stupid question.Doing that sort of thing is basically what she does. She is an academic as well as a film maker, and much of her research work is based on interviews.
The full film is being streamed for free on PBS until 2/1:

How much does a VPN cost.? (Approximately)Thanks for the heads up!
Just made it, and it is a great portrait of one of my favourite photographers.
Luckily I have a VPN connection and could see it from Europe.
It depends on for how long you prepay your subscription. I have used Nordvpn for the past year, and it has worked well for me:How much does a VPN cost.? (Approximately)

The footage of him photographing comes from a Michael Engler documentary, part of which is on YouTube:Thanks for posting this. I just managed to catch it. Hopefully it will become available again at some point. I've seen some Winogrand exhibitions but never things like the home movie footage of him photographing (or his own films). It's really good how, although it has the typical talking heads of a documentary, the vast majority of the screen time is using a blizzard of his photographs to illustrate their commentary.
Opinion on Winogrand's late unseen work has really moved over the years as the film makes clear, and there are many photos in the latter part of the film from that work. His later life was marked by a series of setbacks in part due to his unworldly nature (the film doesn't say this, but for example it was my understanding that a major reason he left New York was that he lost his rent-controlled apartment because he couldn't or navigate its conversion to a co-op; which has some parallels to his neglect of his own health).
As someone says towards the end, then there is also the question of what meaning people will extract from the photographs in 100 years. (Presuming our society sticks around that long.) Already I think the photos of the 1960s and 1970s carry some additional meanings to what they did at the time of his first retrospective in the late 80s.
Who knows what is on those....was it thousands.... of rolls of film he had in bags and drawers.Thanks for posting this. I just managed to catch it.
