BILL CUNNINGHAM NEW YORK chronicles a man who is obsessively interested in only one thing - the pictures he takes that document the way people dress. Bill has lived in the same small studio above Carnegie Hall for fifty years, never eats in restaurants and gets around on a worn-out bicycle — his sole means of transportation. The contradiction of his monk- like existence and the extravagance of his photographic subject matter is one aspect of his private life revealed in the movie. A sartorial Weegee, habitually dressed in a blue work jacket, Bill Cunningham has tried to live his life as an unencumbered man. He wants only his independence to be able to point his camera when beauty crosses his path. With this singular goal, he has managed to create a poignant and ongoing chronicle of the intersection of fashion and society in New York over fifty years — in effect, a portrait of New York City itself.

“It felt like our lives were movies.” – singer Debbie Harry
A meticulously observed document of New York underground film in the late 70s and early 80s, BLANK CITY zeroes in on the No Wave and Cinema of Transgression scenes that spawned a generation of filmmakers.
Before the Reagan era resolutely gentrified the lower end of Manhattan, a group of dispossessed twenty-somethings banded together to create their own world with handheld cameras. Luminaries like Jim Jarmusch, Amos Poe, Nick Zedd, John Waters and Steve Buscemi stitch together this particular Zeitgeist of DIY filmmaking with astute observations and frank anecdotes about the good old bad days.
“It’s defined by what it isn’t. What is it? I don’t fuckin’ know.” – artist Lydia Lunch on the No Wave movement
