The Beverly Theater presents a special screening celebrating the work of Peter Hujar, the influential American photographer known for his intimate black-and-white portraits of New York's downtown scene in the 1970s and 80s. This film offers a deep dive into Hujar's artistic vision and his documentation of artists, writers, drag performers, and everyday people who populated Manhattan's creative underground during a transformative era.

Hujar's photographs captured raw humanity with remarkable tenderness—whether shooting Susan Sontag, Divine, or anonymous subjects in moments of vulnerability and strength. The screening provides an opportunity to explore his legacy and understand why his work continues to resonate decades after his death in 1987. The Beverly Theater's intimate setting and excellent projection quality make it an ideal venue for experiencing the nuanced details and emotional depth of Hujar's photographic eye translated to film.
