FINDING VIVIAN MAIER: Academy Award Best Documentary Feature Shortlist / MoMA Screening

FINDING VIVIAN MAIER

Academy Award Best Documentary Feature Shortlist!

Directors: John Maloof, Charlie Siskel. Producer: Jeff Garlin

The Academy's documentary shortlist includes FINDING VIVIAN MAIER, directed by John Maloof and  Charlie Siskel, now considered a competitive frontrunner in this race! 

"In FINDING VIVIAN MAIER, the film unfolds like a detective story, Maloof and filmmaker Charlie Siskel reveal Maier’s mysterious life as a nanny and a loner through the recollections of her various employers and their children, and as other details of her past come to light. Through the reconstruction of a large portion of Maier’s collection of over 100,000 photographs and interviews with other well-known American street photographers and collectors, the film challenges our notions of the artist and the creative act, and how art is made and marketed. This is Maloof's and Siskel's remarkable directorial debut.

GARY COOPER: ENDURING STYLE

By G. Bruce Boyer and Maria Cooper Janis

Introduction by Ralph Lauren

"When Cooper played a cowboy, you really believed he was a cowboy, and when he played an international man of sophistication, he was just as believable...The real life Gary Cooper was just as authentic."–Ralph Lauren

"Gary Cooper: Enduring Style is the first monograph focused on the timeless fashion and allure of this leading man who was a fashion inspiration to his Hollywood peers, clothing designers then and now, and generations of stylish men of every social strata, across the globe. Compiled of unpublished, never-before-seen personal photographs, shot primarily by his wife Rocky, Gary Cooper captures the cars, the mansions and ranches, the guns and gear, and of course the endless outfits for every occasion that this Hollywood icon ensconced himself in throughout the years. Whether hunting with close friend Ernest Hemingway, lounging with Cary Grant, horseback, poolside, or on the beach, on-set or after-hours, in the company of royalty or cowboys, Cooper had the perfect outfit for every occasion, embodying a type of refined masculinity rarely seen and in high demand to this day."–powerHouse Books

Gary Cooper made almost a hundred films during his career as top box office star and won his first Academy Award for Best Actor in 1942 for Sergeant York. That same year he was directed by Frank Capra in Meet John Doe (rent it!). Ingrid Bergman collaborated with Cooper on For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), based on Cooper's friend Ernest Hemingway's novel. He made a Western comedy, Along Came Jones (1945) and starred in the original version of the Ayn Rand novel, The Fountainhead (1949) with Patricia Neal. In 1953, Cooper won his second Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in High Noon.

In 1933, Cooper wed socialite Veronica Balfe, known as "Rocky," after several affairs with famous actresses and co-stars. Their only child, Maria, now Maria Cooper Janis, married classical pianist Byron Janis. As co-author of Gary Cooper: Enduring Style, Ms. Janis shared her parents personal photographs from their collection to create this (elegantly designed by Ruth Ansel) cloth-bound and slipcased album of 150 photographs. A Must: Watch Gary Cooper DVD's and gift this book for the Holidays.
