On Saturday, Feb. 1 at 3:00 p.m., the Cinema Arts Centre will screen the new documentary film about the legendary New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. The screening of the film, The Times of Bill Cunningham, will be followed by an in-person discussion with director Mark Bozek, artist Ruben Toledo, and Amy Fine Collins, former writer for Vanity Fair and frequent Bill Cunningham model.

Narrated by Sarah Jessica Parker, “The Times of Bill Cunningham” features incredible photographs chosen from over 3 million previously unpublicized images and documents from iconic street photographer and fashion historian Bill Cunningham.

Told in Cunningham’s own words from a recently unearthed 1994 interview, the photographer chronicles, in his customarily cheerful and plainspoken manner, moonlighting as a milliner in France during the Korean War, his unique relationship with First Lady Jackie Kennedy, his four decades at The New York Times and his democratic view of fashion and society. 

Program Event Fees: $12 Cinema Arts Centre Members | $17 Public
