Finding Vivian Maier is the critically acclaimed documentary about a nanny who shot over 100,000 photographs, unbeknownst to anyone. Maier’s massive body of work would come to light when in 2007 her work was discovered at a local thrift auction house on Chicago’s Northwest Side. From there, it would eventually impact the world over and change the life of the man who championed her work and brought it to the public eye, John Maloof. Maier’s work has played an important part in the renewed interest in the art of Street Photography, and she is now considered among the 20th century’s greatest photographers. Directed by John Maloof and Charlie Siskel, Maier’s strange and riveting life and art are revealed through never before seen photographs, films, and interviews with many of the people who thought they knew her.
