Everybody Street

In 2010, the Seaport Museum of New York approached Cheryl Dunn to make a short documentary about photographers who have used New York City street life as a major subject in their work. The result was a 36 minute long documentary, an intimate portrait of the work of New York’s most iconic street photographers including Bruce Davidson, Mary Ellen Mark, Bruce Gilden, Joel Meyerowitz, Martha Cooper and Ricky Powell. The film pays tribute to the spirit of New York street photography through a cinematic exploration of the city (shot on 16mm film), intercut with interviews, photographs, and candid footage of artists working from the 1930’s through today.

Cheryl Dunn is a documentary/street filmmaker and photographer based in New York City. Her films have played at festivals all over the world including Tribeca, Edinburgh, Rotterdam, Los Angeles and Havana, and on PBS. Her work has been exhibited at numerous galleries & museums, including Deitch Projects in NY and in the recently opened Art in the Streets exhibitions at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in LA. Dunn was one of the subjects of Aaron Rose’s generation-defining documentary, book & traveling museum exhibition Beautiful Losers. Her photographs have been published in Vogue, Elle, Harpers Bazaar, Spin and Dazed & Confused, among others, and she has had two books of her photographs published – Bicycle Gangs of New York (2005) and Some Kinda Vocation (2007).
