Finding Vivian Maier
2014 · Film · documentary · 83 min
Directed by John Maloof, Charlie Siskel
Vivian Maier's photos were seemingly destined for obscurity, lost among the clutter of the countless objects she'd collected throughout her life. Instead these images have shaken the world of street photography and irrevocably changed the life of the man who brought them to the public eye. This film brings to life the interesting turns and travails of the improbable saga of John Maloof's discovery of Vivian Maier, unravelling this mysterious tale through her documentary films, photographs, odd collections and personal accounts from the people that knew her. What started as a blog to show her work quickly became a viral sensation in the photography world. Photos destined for the trash heap now line gallery exhibitions, a forthcoming book and this documentary film.

Reminds me of the photos of Vivian Maier, discovered in a storage locker after her death. The documentary "Finding Vivian Maier" tells the story. Amazing photos! https://www.vivianmaier.com
Thanks for this. For anyone interested there's a fantastic documentary about her called Finding Vivian Maier - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finding_Vivian_Maier
I love her approach to photography. The film Finding Vivian Maier is a good watch - https://youtu.be/TPSzGgtOxBc?feature=shared
For those interested in a great documentary about Vivian Maier, I would recommend Finding Vivian Maier [1]. It includes an interview with the person who found the chest(s?) of her negatives, and it covers most of her life, including interviews with people who knew her.
