'Finding Vivian Maier' - Trailer


John Maloof and Charlie Siskel have just released the trailer for their forthcoming documentary exploring the life of one of America's most mysterious street photographers, Vivian Maier.

In 2007 John Maloof walked into an auction house across from his home and placed a $380 bid on a box of 30,00 prints and photographs from an unknown photographer. Impressed by his discovery, Maloof went on to purchase another lot of the photographers including hundreds of rolls of undeveloped film, home movies, interview tapes, and an additional 70,000 negatives.

The work was the product of nanny Vivian Maier and documented the streets of both New York and her native Chicago over nearly forty years. Vivian however had never shared either her passion or work with friends, acquaintances or family.
