Bill Cunnigham New York officially opened on March 16, 2011 at the Film Forum here in New York City.  The film will run until March 29th, 2011.  82 year old Cultural Anthropologist, Bill Cunningham has been documenting street style and fashion trends for over a decade for the New York Times Style in his columns "On the Street" and "Evening Hours".   Zeitgeist Films states "Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace."

 Mr Cunningham on Fashion Trends...

"See I don’t decide anything. I let the street speak to me. And in order for the street to speak to you, you’ve got to stay out there and see what it is! You don’t just manufacture in your head that skirts at the knee are the thing, and you go out and photograph people with skirts at the knee. You’ve got to stay on the street and let the street tell YOU what it is. There’s no shortcuts, believe me."
