NEW YORK, NY.- Film Forum will present the U.S. theatrical premiere of Sasha Waters Freyer’s Garry Winogrand: All Things are Photographable, beginning Wednesday, September 19.

“What is a photograph?” Garry Winogrand (1928-1984) asks in his iconic, gravelly Bronx accent. Winogrand was a compulsive street photographer (although he hated that term), working for decades in NYC, then in Texas and California, to create a huge body of work (hundreds of thousands of images taken with his 35mm Leica) that comprise an encyclopedic portrait of America. During his lifetime he was celebrated (as a favorite of MoMA curator John Szarkowski) and criticized (for his book, Women Are Beautiful) and then more-or-less forgotten after his untimely death at age 56. Winogrand left behind so many unseen images (more than 10,000 rolls of film – over 250,000 pictures) that is has taken until now for the full measure of his artistic legacy to emerge. Newly published, The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand by Geoff Dyer, will be available at the concession during the film’s engagement.

Garry Winogrand: All Things are Photographable will have a 2-week engagement, September 19 – October 2, at Film Forum, 209 W. Houston St. with daily showtimes at 12:30, 2:30, 4:40, 7:00 & 9:15.

“(Winogrand) captured the fallout from the midcentury American moment – those few decades from the 1950s on, when placid, middle-class prosperity started to give way to something less affluent, more fragmented and harder to define.” – Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times

“An unusually rich art-doc with an old-New York twang. Delivers the sensation of seeing a story unfold dramatically onscreen. Fascinating. Speaks to the most sophisticated students of fine-art photography without alienating casual buffs.” – John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
