Screening: Peter Hujar’s Day
Join us for a free screening of Peter Hujar’s Day on Friday, March 20 at 6:30 pm at the Hill Art Foundation.
Written and directed by Ira Sachs, Peter Hujar’s Day recreates a 1974 conversation between the canonical photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw) and writer Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall). The exchange recounts Hujar’s activities over the course of a single day, recorded by Rosenkrantz as part of research for an unrealized book about how artists spend their time.
Through this intimate framework, the film reflects on artistic practice, attention, and friendship, finding quiet beauty in the everyday rhythms of a vanished New York.
