Here is the trailer for 'Peter Hujar's Day'

The first trailer for "Peter Hujar's Day" arrived this past week.

Here's more about the film by Ira Sachs (which we mentioned previously here): 

Ben Wishaw and Rebecca Hall in a richly cinematic rendering of a conversation recorded in 1974 between photographer Peter Hujar and writer Linda Rosenkrantz. Their talk that day focused on a single 24 hours in the life of Hujar, the brilliant and famously uncompromising artist who was one of the most important figures in downtown New York's legendary cultural scene of the 70s and 80s. 

Set entirely in Linda’s Manhattan apartment, the film freely and imaginatively recreates that long-ago afternoon and the wonderfully discursive exchange between these two singular individuals.

"Peter Hujar's Day" will play the New York Film Festival this fall before a Nov. 7 release.

Hujar lived and worked above the Louis N. Jaffe Art Theater (today, the Village East by Angelika) on Second Avenue at 12th Street. Read more about the space where Jackie Curtis and David Wojnarowicz lived before and after Hujar right here. 

And I highly recommend the book, "Peter Hujar's Day." Bought a copy at Mast on Fifth Street and Avenue A several years back.

Hujar died from AIDS-related pneumonia on Nov. 26, 1987. He was 53.
