After seeing this movie at the Salem Film Fest this past winter, I immediately talked to my friends about it to see if they had seen it as well, but alas, there were so many things going on in Salem that night that many folks missed it. As you will see from this blurb I borrowed from CinemaSalem's e-newsletter, they did not have to wait too long -- it's back, and this time for at least a week. However, the screening room is tiny so if you want to see it, beat feet and get there quickly!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did (and by the way, my husband, Walt, no fashionista he, also loved it!) Just an all-around terrific movie.

Bill Cunningham New York
Bill Cunningham New York was a huge hit at this year's Salem Film Fest this past March, screening at a soldout show at PEM.I hope you enjoy it as much as I did (and by the way, my husband, Walt, no fashionista he, also loved it!) Just an all-around terrific movie.

Bill Cunningham New York
A month after the astute and prescient SFF audiences enjoyed it, the film was release theatrically in New York and LA, where it became a cult classic.
National Public Radio helps explain the appeal of a documentary about an octogenarian fashion writer at the NY Times: "The equal billing in the title is no accident: Cunningham's story is the story of New York itself, about the ways it has changed through the decades and how that history was captured on all those miles of film passing through Cunningham's camera." The Village Voice complements this perspective: "No passion for fashion is required to enjoy this absorbing portrait of legendary New York Times "On the Street" photographer Bill Cunningham, but a sense of history and tragedy might help," and The Philadelphia Inquirer delivers the verdict: "I love this man, I love this movie.
Bill Cunningham New York will screen in our intimate Screening Room starting Friday and Saturday at (12:15), (2:00), (4:00), (5:45), 7:40 and 9:40; and Sunday-Thursday at (12:15), (2:00), (4:00), (5:45) and 7:40.
