Documentary: Bill Cunningham New York

Please join us for a special screening of the Award Winning documentary Bill Cunningham New York, a film by Richard Press.  

Synopsis:

"We all get dressed for Bill," says Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.

The "Bill" in question is 80+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades this cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns "On the Street" and "Evening Hours." 

Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller-who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham's enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.

The film starts at 7:00 p.m.; Upstairs bar will open at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10 which includes free popcorn and soda. Moviegoers receive 15% discount on a meal good for a week from the screening date.
