Finding Vivian Maier is the extraordinary true story of a woman whose brilliance went unnoticed during her lifetime. Vivian Maier worked for decades as a nanny in New York and Chicago, quietly documenting the world through her Rolleiflex camera. After her death in 2009, boxes of undeveloped film and negatives were discovered—revealing an astonishing body of work that captured the poetry and grit of twentieth-century street life with unparalleled style.
This award-winning documentary follows the discovery and unravelling of her secret archive, exploring not only the enigma of Maier herself but also the questions her work raises about art, recognition, and legacy. Both mystery and celebration, the film shines a light on a hidden genius now hailed as one of the greatest photographers of the modern era.
