dandiwatch: Finding Vivian Maier

Finding Vivian Maier, a documentary directed by John Maloof and Charlie Siskel, chronicles the private life of Vivian Maier, an American street photographer born in New York City. Working as a nanny, she led her life with an element of mystery and took over 100,000 photographs -- but revealed none to the public.

Until now.

Stuck by her uncanny ability to capture a raw moment, Maloof sets out to uncover the secret life of Vivian Maier. Compiling old photographs, receipts and other treasures, Maloof pieces together a peculiar story that will no longer be forgotten.
