Finding Vivian Maier Film

I've been enjoying the work of mystery photographer Vivian Maier for some time. From the initial blog findings, to the This American Life piece on her, to the documentary on her - I've been following. The tale of a highly private nanny hitting the streets of Chicago and creating some stunning street photography from the 1960's is worth taking note of.

Now I've finally seen the film and I'm no less a fan than I ever was. I highly recommend everyone see it - if not just for the work it showcases. I'd also love to have a dialogue with anyone about the director's mentality that her work needing to be exposed to a greater audience. Is this a product of our social media times or just the facts when it comes to photography this entrancing? Miss Maier knew she was talented but she is not depicted as the type that wanted to be a household name - at least not in life. I'd even argue that her reclusive nature makes her work more interesting but, surely, that wasn't her intent.
