HIFF: Screening of "Beaton By Bailey" Followed by A Conversation with David Bailey
David Bailey’s Cecil Beaton documentary, "Beaton By Bailey," Bailey will discuss the film with Bruce Weber at the Watermill Center. Rajendra Roy, Celeste Bartos, the Chief Curator of Film at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, will moderate.
According to HIFF, "Considered one of the driving forces behind contemporary photography, David Bailey is credited with photographing some of the most powerful images of the last four decades. His popular and critically beloved work includes iconic images of legends such as The Rolling Stones, the Kray twins, Mickey Rourke, and Kate Moss. Bailey was the real-life inspiration for the fictional photographer protagonist in Michelangelo Antonioni’s masterwork, BLOW-UP, and has also led a vibrant filmmaking career of his own. Bailey’s 1970s documentaries about Cecil Beaton, Andy Warhol, and Luchino Visconti define the spirit and creative force of a generation."
