2025 - USA/Germany - Drama - 76 min.

Based on a richly cinematic rendering of a conversation recorded in 1974 between photographer Peter Hujar and writer Linda Rosenkrantz the film re-imagines their talk that day in a single 24-hour period 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 1970s and 1980s.

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. As the photographer vividly describes his interactions with leading cultural figures of the time, including Allen Ginsberg and Susan Sontag, as well as the challenges of living on limited financial resources in 1970s New York, Peter Hujar's Day transforms unexpectedly into a Bloomsday-like meditation on both an artist's life and time itself.
