[Untitled: #20]
Synopsis
Close-up shots of a young white woman dramatically lit, holding hands to her head and yelling, looking fearful. Camera zooms in and out and moves around her. The remaining 2/3 of the film are shots of Robert Capa photos from WWII (including shot of pilot in plane painted with swastikas to indicate enemy planes he shot down), Spanish Civil War, and still frames from Alain Resnais' film, Last Year at Marienbad. Last shot is a sign: "Tradition of the New : Owens The End." Following a partnership with the Chicago Film Society to restore the 16mm films of SAIC alumnus Edward Owens, the Flaxman Library has recently finished new 16mm restorations of Owens' earlier 8mm work.

Vivian Maier's photos were seemingly destined for obscurity, lost among the clutter of the countless objects she'd collected throughout her life. Instead these images have shaken the world of street photography and irrevocably changed the life of the man who brought them to the public eye. This film brings to life the interesting turns and travails of the improbable saga of John Maloof's discovery of Vivian Maier, unravelling this mysterious tale through her documentary films, photographs, odd collections and personal accounts from the people that knew her. What started as a blog to show her work quickly became a viral sensation in the photography world. Photos destined for the trash heap now line gallery exhibitions, a forthcoming book and this documentary film.
