I saw this film and had so many feelings about her life. She shot 100,000 photos but really did not have the money ever to get the photos printed. She worked as a nanny her whole life and had an incredible eye to photograph her world on a daily basis. She shot films too and did interviews with strangers on a cassette tape recorder. And now we get to celebrate her life of art forever.
I'm an introvert who has a tendency to feel a bit misunderstood, and I loved this documentary so much. It inspired me to take up street photography as a hobby and find a sympatico hero in Vivian Maier. I love some of the interviews with people who knew her, particularly the grown up children she cared for as a nanny. All of them seem to have been effected by her quite deeply, and many of them in ways they don't seem to fully understand. It's really cool. It shows how introverts really are, far from being the socially unskilled people we seem to be. The real Vivian Maier didn't get found out until after she died. But now we know about her depth, compassion and interest in people. RIP Vivian.
She is the female Cartier-Bresson. So incredibly awesome. Can't wait to see more.
this is why I love art....you don't have to be classically trained to do anything...just have passion
i dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

And talent
I'm so glad she never showed any of her work to anyone. Now the entire world gets to appreciate it from such a mysterious and intriguing perspective.
You're glad she went unrecognized during her lifetime? OK.
I wept when I saw this. The film exposed much of my own life. I, also was a 24/7 caregiver for years. What people must understand is... You give up much of your own life when you work like this. It's a very private, isolating, consuming, draining, joyful, heartbreaking, ....(etc.) -life (job). I, myself, I took care of seniors. I gave up years, years of my life doing it. Like Vivian, I'm a creative, and it's hard to be expected to be focused on others all the time when your passion begs at your heart. -Thus said, i have no regrets. I came to Love all those I cared for, but perhaps like Vivian, I also wondered if people really thought about what I was giving up.... to devote myself so much to them. Perhaps this is the reason I too, became a "collector." Living in other people's homes, if your lucky enough to have your own room (& bed, not a couch in the living room),... your privacy is VERY limited, time to yourself is very precious,.... Many people seem to be quite critical of Vivian, but I understand her. This lifestyle is not easy. I myself, Loved the people I cared for, but secretly sometimes craved the outside world, and to have a little piece of it myself. I may not be expressing my thoughts well enough, but I recognize Vivian was someone with a great deal of Love even if people saw her as odd. She deserved more respect, and shouldn't have died ALONE in the end. She lived her passion. She gave her life to people, and she worked on feeding her own soal. Thank You Vivian, you're beautiful to me.
Saw the film today..March, 14 2019....Did she really love the children she cared for? According to some of the now adult people she "nannied" at times she was cruel and had a very dark side. Highly recomend the film
One day images of our high streets and neighbourhoods will feel this nostalgic...
I'm waiting for that
The relentless self-aware exploitation of surface inherently makes today's time less antique, regardless of time.
Photography holds less unique value in commentary and revelation of modern society, but artistic mediums like forms of film-making have the potential to have a strong impact.
The future's view on our societies may most beautifully be resonated by South Park.
:-]
Modern architecture is soulless and built with planned obsolescence in mind. Look at all those box-shaped condos popping up everywhere to take the place of those cookie-cutter neighborhoods
Saying that anyone can take a picture is like saying that anyone can prepare a gourmet meal or paint a masterpiece. Look at all of those lives that she's captured so wonderfully, and how they live on in her work. That's art.
read about her and went to the exhibition (twice) whilst on a trip to London in 2011. I do a lot of street photography and her work just made my heart sing, beautiful composition and feel. She was clearly someone who had a trained eye, lived for her photography and despite the misgivings about someone else cashing in on her work her work deserves its place amongst the best purveyors of street photography as her photos tell a story rather than just being snapshots
1:33 she started that Selfie Mirror pic trend way before Myspace. Love her photos wow I just really appreciate old photos and hers are perfection.
I have been following this story for quite some time now, finding it very interesting to say the least! What makes it even more interesting to me is that she lived close to me.
I love viewing her photos many of which not even she has viewed as a printed picture.
Thanks for making this film. Really stands out in this day and age of people photo-sharing their every broken nail and pre-consumed pastry.
im in love with her work .thank you john Maloof for sharing it to the world
This gave me chills. Never been inspired by art like that.
I love how ppl can't understand why she didn't share her photographs. perhaps she just enjoyed taking them and didn't give a shit about the rest.
also am i the only one who thinks it's gross that people are making money off this woman who obviously didn't want her work exposed. oh well
+Ar die The whole point of photography/a photograph is to capture, and make permanent, a moment in time. Creating something that can be viewed and looked at is LITERALLY the whole, and only, fucking point of the invention/task. The idea she didn't want anyone (including herself, because she never developed the film) to see a moment in life she intentionally captured/stole from the flowing world is nonsense.That's like a person who made shoes their whole life being upset that people started wearing them. As if a different purpose or reason might exist behind creating shoes other than putting them on someone's feet. The only fucking thing you can even do with a picture IS look at it. Nobody just "enjoys" pushing a button on a mechanical device, leaving the producton of that device alone or undeveloped. That's like being impressed with the rewind button on a VCR. She took them for a reason, for posterity....even in her own mind. This is also why she hoarded newspapers, scrapbooking some of the articles. She wanted to capture moments in time. She had compulsion, OCD issues. She was a hoarder.She never developed or showed her work for a handful of simple, obvious reasons. 1) Her hoarding, OCD issues are time/effort consuming...leaving many things (not sorting through her newspapers for articles, not developing her pictures etc) undone for people like her. What she did isn't remotely uncommon for people with her clear psychological issues to do. 2) She wasn't educated, was a woman in the 50's and 60's, was a nanny...she had no entrance into the artistic world, nobody to show her pictures. No known path to travel to any ends she might have dreamed about. 3) A product of the other 2 probably.....she's shy, scared her work isn't any good; will be rejected. She doesn't have the courage to open herself up to scrutiny. People that never try never get rejected. She could remain a legend in her own mind, protect her ego from the judgement of others. Yes, she had an ego. She told people she was a foreign spy, lied about her educational achievements, exaggerated her accent to present a more cosmopolitan background etc. She wasn't some meek, humbled person working in obscurity just for the purity of the act. She was a legend in her own mind kind of person.....but with the plot twist being that she WAS ACTUALLY talented at photography.Who cares if someone makes money off the pictures? Is money being stolen?? Is anyone on earth less wealthy, less fortunate, more oppressed because someone went to a valid auction, lawfully purchased items, spent their own money developing their acquired property.... all while bringing the dead/family-less photographer international acclaim and recognition??To be absolutely frank? The ONLY potentially exploited people are all the people Vivian took pictures of without asking their permission(and it is known from her camera and camera angles that she snuck many pictures). All the dirty, obese, struggling people...the grotesque images of downtrodden people she wanted to capture. Imagine how some of them might have felt. A morbidly obese man, and this random woman secretly takes your picture as you mind your own business on the streets.....and you hear the device make a noise, knowing what has happened. You think he is stupid too? You think he doesn't know this stranger snuck a picture of him because of how unnatural/carnival attraction like he looks? That's an exploited person. That's a person who goes home and feels shame because he knows he looks so repulsive that a complete stranger felt the urge to single him out and sneak a picture of him. Vivian Maier is a dead person. She doesn't feel anything. Her ego would have loved this admiration for her work though. On the outside, she would have projected annoyed, "offended", because if she accepts the praise publicly from others, then she also gives the same people the power to take that praise away. Inside she would be in pure exctasy over the profuse praise her work has garnered however.
+junk junknow It's too bad you didn't watch it to the end. He found a letter she wrote to the guy in France -- she was asking him to print her photos. She wanted to share them. She wanted to sell them.
+Arda Von I do see your point, and that is very valid. I am also a photographer, and relate to bits of her story. Now, let me flip the coin. Say I find a Pablo Picasso painting from a garage sale that happened to be the neighbor of an X girlfriend of his. The painting was a gift from Picasso, to his then girlfriend. Now, this was never meant to be seen.. nor was it ever meant to be sold. However, it's an unseen Picasso, and I bought it at a garage sale. Is it gross if I take it to Sotheby's and sell it for $140,000?
+Arda Von or perhaps most of us don't think of our selves are artists and know no one that would value our work -- as soon as i saw this i immediately of Henry Darger ... and not just because of her name.
Nope. She's dead and she doesn't know or care about money anymore. In fact, she may never have cared about money.
I just saw it tonight! AMAZING! Wow. I was so moved. Vivian Maier was a Master Artist indeed.
I can't wait to see this film! I have been following the story for over a year now and have purchased the first book of her prints. Vivian's photography is amazing! I'm so glad her work was found, and we can all now appreciate her genius work.
It is not very often this vast amount of photographs gives me shivers. The entire book does that. Definitely a must-have in every home!
WOW !! I AM IMPRESSED WITH YOUR WORK.
THANK YOU
FOR DISPLAYING /SHOWING /TELLING HER LIFE STORY.
YOU DESERVE AN AWARD !!!
This is going to be such an impressive documentary. Thanks to John and those helping him for sharing the stories of Vivian, they're truly inspiring.
Glad to see Joel Meyerowitz appears in the film by the way. His voice and words have some kind of magical appeal. Another great source of inspiration.
Amazing movie! Will make you smile and bring a tear to your eye. Heart warming and poignant, and simply a wonderful story with great imagery.
I think the next layer of awesomeness is that the people in her photos could recognize themselves in her pictures.
Every single image is one I wish I took! What an amazing eye she had and incredible talent! I am looking forward to seeing this documentary!
Beautiful mind! Creative artist!
WOW... why have I never heard of Vivian Maier ???? Her photos are amazing.
Can't stop watching it again and again.
Good work John - I hope Vivian can look on from wherever she is and come to terms with our admiration. We are looking forward to seeing the full documentary and to learning more about her and her fine work.
Such moving work, can't wait to see the film.
This is important. She was a genius. A crazy woman and a genius. Her photography is fabulous. Good on Maloof for pursuing this.
I saw this movie Saturday and it was fantastic. Both as a movie with a compelling story and the chance to see photography like I have never seen before.
More more more! I've never heard of this women and her story before, but I must see more of these photos. My god.
Such an enchantingly beautiful/fascinatingly otherworldly story!
I'd like to believe that she wanted her photos to be discovered once she'd died. Don't we all want to be appreciated and remembered when we're gone?
the piece 60 minutes did on her inspired me to see her work before i die and that i did NYC last year amazing time!!!!
What a phenomenal discovery!
The world needs to see more of itself through the eye of an artist such as Vivian Maier. Simply because she was an unknown, has no bearing on her talent as a photographer.
Her uniqueness is what sets her apart from others.
The mystery of this woman and her journeys with her camera is what will set her apart from the others.
I'm happy her work was uncovered, but a little sad that her personal life is now on display to the world. We can be a cruel bunch at times.
This needs to be on Netflix 😭
great - even though she probably wouldn't have like us all viewing her work, we're lucky you found it and are sharing it in a big way!
I am SO excited about this, seeing it on Sunday in Auckland. Hip Hip Hooray!!!
What a fascinating story. I'm so glad you found her work and are sharing it with the rest of us. She might not have wanted this to happen during her lifetime but I think that she'd get a kick out of it now.
For all those decrying her keeping the work to herself, you forget that an artist produces work for themselves. That other people enjoy it or are interested is secondary.
I create work all the time that is for no one but me.
Capturing moments unnoticed.
I love it that she invented the "selfie."..and was so masterfully genius about it.
A fantastic documentary!
I cannot WAIT to see this film!
Can't wait to see this doc! I've been admiring her photographs and thinking about who she was for a while.
Watching this now courtesy of showtime free preview weekend. not usually a topic that interests me but these photos are undeniably great.
Having read a great deal about her and now seen the documentary on BBC1 this evening "Vivian Maier - who took nanny's pictures?", I checked out John Maloof who did not take part (because he was making a film of his own) to see what he was going to do. I am really looking forward to seeing this film.
I am glad this documentary is being done. It will bring more people to the work of this remarkable talent. Great committed talent is often under our noses, but we rarely see it unless there is an "impressive" price tag attached.
A link to this trailer on reddit is the first time I've ever heard of her. Looking at her photos now it's clear to me that she was one of the greatest photographer who ever lived
Feeling Vivian. A work so significant even in death it could not hide.
amazing story can not wait to see more of her work and the movie.
this is just amazing!!!I love following her story.
So excited to see this!! She was pure genius.
TIMMMMMMMM
YOU ARE THE MOST BRILLIANT HUMAN BEING EVER.
YOUR SHOW LITERALLY MADE MY LIFE
Thank you for appearing in a video :) I had no idea when i clicked the link :D
A really exiting story and amazing photos! I am looking forward to seeing the film about her!
That "hipster" that said the "composition was slightly off" was actor Tim Roth, and he was right!
wow... just wow!
why there aren't news like this more widely communicated!?
i just found this BEAUTIFUL photos and a mysterious and awesome photographer!
im more than motivated to do some real street photography!
Brilliant! Can't wait to see it… vale Miss Maier.
I can't wait to see this wonderful film! Vivian was such a fearless photographer! i would have loved to have known her and shot with her!
Fantastic street photographer. It's amazing her work was not known or recognised until after her death. Hard to understand in these days of celebrity culture that she wasn't doing it for money or fame - just a love of her city and photography.
Glad they took the rock I was under off my head to find this amazing body of art. With just the few frames I have viewed, my desire to see them all.
gives me goosebumps, do it guys ...
Her photos are beautiful!
Her photography is wonderful. And the era in which she worked is now so evocative of the pre-hi-tech world many people alive today were born long after. I hope your documentary explores the possibility that she deliberately left her vast collection hidden knowing it would be discovered after her death as a little gem of a look into the past.
Vivian Maier est à Chicago ce que Doisneau est à Paris !
Tout simplement magnifique !
Le Chicago des années superbe...
Cannot wait to see this film!
Cant wait to see this!! These photos and history would make a fantastic exhibit at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City, Los Angeles. It is always a free exhibit!!
Can't wait for it to be out!
Can't wait for this!
...has become part of my bucket list.
Goosebumps.
He's a Genealogist, he finds people whether they are dead or alive, he finds their family members to inherit their estates so the states cannot claim them, he has found last surviving family members for soldiers who have died in foreign wars so their family can claim their remains and lay them to rest on American soil, he does private work and can trace your family all they way back to how far you want to go back, and a lot more other stuff. He is very talented at what he does.
Can't wait to see this.
This is what I call a talent.
Just so fantastic. Glad you are doing a film on this wonderful artist. I heard about the find of the negatives and wondered the same thing.....how? Why?
that last picture of her shadow with the bicycle is so mysterious. it almost reminds me of mrs. switch from the wizard of oz!
Excellent movie about a fascinating character!
J'ai adoré ce documentaire qui m'a permis de découvrir Vivian Maier, une personnalité atypique, mystérieuse , elle avait beaucoup de talent, l'oeuvre de sa vie que l'on découvre grâce à John Maloof ( merci à lui, qui sait ce que seraient devenues toutes ces photos si elles n'étaient pas tomber entre ses mains, peut-être détruites...j'attends la prochaine expo en France.
Can't wait to watch this!
This is absolutely fascinating.
Vivian Maier = a real American cultural gem
great! when can we expect this film to be released? I want to watch the whole thing. Fascinating story, amazing photography.
Awesome!
Wow!!! This gave me chills so good job. I can't wait to see it!!
Love,
Sarah
Can't wait to see this!
cant wait to watch this
Awesome Trailer. Can't wait to watch the full film
Can't wait!
I can't wait to see this one.
I want to see this so bad!!!
So excited.
you are learning who this woman was, and what interested her, through her art. if you found all these films and developed them, and you saw all these raw and beautiful images, would you really keep it to yourself? would you not tell your friends? This is a beautiful journey, it's a project of studying someones life. You learn them, you breath their past.
Looking forward to seeing this movie. Amazing work!!!
This is going to be a must see!
Exquisite photography.
Quite excited for this.
fantastic! Looking forward to the release of the film!
Superb photography, what a find!
Just awesome
Art isn't just about "feel," it's about highly technical mastery of dozens of tools of craft to convey meaning or expression, or to evoke emotion. Vivian Maier's a potential master not just because she had a critical eye for subject matter but also for boring stuff like white-balance levels.
