PRESENTED by OBSCURA GALLERY
FEATURING BOOK SIGNING and INTRODUCTION from DANNY LYON
Danny Lyon (born March 16, 1942) is an American photographer, filmmaker, and pioneer of photographic New Journalism who immerses himself directly inside the communities he documents. After his ground breaking work as a photojournalist in the 1960’s, Danny Lyon turned to films, making a series of non-fiction films in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Join us to celebrate his work with the seminal classics BORN TO FILM (1982) and BEAT THE DRUM SLOWLY (2025).
Lyon's passionate vision has deepened and grown in resonance, and the film is not just family or even social history, but about human continuity, the power of the instinct to survive, the grace that love and play bring to it, the wonder of being alive.
