Finding Vivian Maier on DVD

FINDING VIVIAN MAIER is the critically acclaimed documentary about a mysterious nanny who secretly took more than 100,000 photographs, which were discovered by chance in storage lockers decades later.

Following the discovery, Vivian’s works have ushered her into the pantheon of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century.

Directed by John Maloof and Charlie Siskel, Maier’s strange and riveting life and art are revealed through never-before-seen pictures, films, and interviews with dozens who thought they knew her.

John Maloof is a filmmaker, photographer and historian. He is also the chief curator of Vivian Maier’s work. Through the Maloof Collection, John continues the work of preserving Maier’s photography and making it publicly available. John grew up on the West Side of Chicago buying and selling at the kind of flea markets and storage lockers that led to the discovery of Vivian’s photographs.

Maloof is the author of a book on Maier’s work, Vivian Maier: Street Photographer, as well as an upcoming project dedicated to her self-portraits.
