Jay Myself is a documentary about renowned photographer Jay Maisel. In February 2015, Maisel had to sell his thirty six thousand square foot New York city home and move.

Filmmaker and Maisel’s protégé Stephen Wilkes captured the move and through Jay Myself, he shares the photographer’s life as an artist, mentor, and man grappling with time, life, change, and the end of an era in New York City.

I’m interested because I love a perfectly arresting image. The kind that makes everything else around disappear, and there’s just one and the art.

Something tells me that I may find a bunch of captivating images in this film. I mean, I’d never heard of Maisel until this trailer, and he is a ‘renowned photographer’ after all – plus the blue image above is particularly gorgeous, isn’t it?

Jay Myself Release Dates: July 31st, 2019 (US)…

Cecil Beaton is known for being an Academy Award-winning costume designer, respected photographer, artist and set designer.

In Love, Cecil, director Lisa Immordino Vreeland brings us a look at Beaton’s life and work – through archival footage, interviews with those who worked closely with Beaton and photographs, along with voice-over by Beaton’s famed diaries.

I’m watching this one because of Beaton’s extraordinary creativity, his wit and personality; all of which I already got a glimpse of, thanks to an amusing clip  in Manolo – The Boy Who Made Shoes For Lizards (2016).

Inspired by still images, including paintings and photographs, 24 Frames is a collection of 24 short four-and-a-half-minute films, an experimental project by filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami in the last three years of his life.

There are several other reasons to watch this film, besides the promise of stunning images on which to feast my hungry eyes and be transported, but I really need no other reason.

Directed/co-written by Soudabeh Moradian, Polaris is the story of a psychologically traumatised photo journalist/war photographer who’s reluctant to return to the Middle East.

This looks as though it could be good and I’d very much love to be right about that. Furthermore, the subject matter is rather intriguing. 

Polaris Release Dates: 2017 (US)…
