FILM

"We all get dressed for Bill," says Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.

Bill Cunningham New York

Thursday, April 21, 7:30pm; Friday & Saturday, April 22 & 23, 5:30pm & 8pm; Sunday, April 24, 2pm

The "Bill" in question is 80+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chroni bcny cling fashion trends and high society charity soir�es for the Times Style section in his columns "On the Street" and "Evening Hours." Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller-who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham's enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, 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. Director: Richard Press 2010 USA 84min. NR digital HD. Filmmakers' website
