Film: Peter Hujar's Day

Mon Dec 7 , 7 – 9 pm

Hosted by Yale Film Archive
Details PETER HUJAR’S DAY (Ira Sachs, 2025, 35mm, 76 mins)
Ira Sachs in person! New print! On a winter day in ​‘74, photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw) recounts the meetings, conversations, passing observations, and artistic obsessions that make up his life in downtown New York. Drawn from a recorded conversation with writer Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall), Sachs’s intimate two-hander transforms the ordinary rhythms of a single day into a vivid portrait of an artist and his long-gone milieu. ​“A charming experiment that should delight those who like their pleasures both nostalgic and voyeuristic” (Jeannette Catsoulis). 35mm print made with thanks to Janus Films.

The ​“Treasures from the Yale Film Archive” series is presented with support from Paul L. Joskow ​‘70 M.Phil., ​‘72 Ph.D.
