None of her pictures were ever published during her lifetime, but after death, street photographer Vivian Maier attained fame when undeveloped negatives from her deceased estate were published online. This documentary from first-time directors John Maloof and Charlie Siskel follows their attempts to probe into Maier's background and discover why she took so many photographs, yet never shared them with anyone.
"Finding Vivian Maier" is actually quite a remarkable documentary about a completely unknown photographer who was, sadly enough, overlooked in her lifetime.It was only by a stroke of sheer luck that John Maloof (this documentary's co-writer/co-producer) came across this surprise discovery of negatives amongst Vivian's possessions, which he had purchased at an auction (of her abandoned personal property) in 2007.
Growing up, I had a secret hiding spot where I squirreled away my coin and rock collections, grade school memorabilia, and various important (to me) trinkets. What if my secret hiding spot was the size of an enormous storage unit, contained thousands of rolls of undeveloped film and oodles of bric-a-brac, and went completely undiscovered until after my death?
