Clare Binns talks to filmmaker Ira Sachs about his new film Peter Hujar's Day live on stage at the Duke's at Komedia cinema in Brighton. Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall star in the stunning new film from Ira Sachs, a richly cinematic rendering of the meeting of acclaimed photographer Peter Hujar and writer and artist Linda Rosenkrantz. Recorded in 1974, Hujar describes the routines and rituals that define an artist's life, capturing a single day's activities in touching and funny detail: from interactions with cultural icons of the day, including Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Susan Sontag, to the texture and energy of downtown New York in its heyday. Both elegant and intimate — and a dazzling showcase for the two performers at its centre — PETER HUJAR’S DAY is both a masterful portrait of a time and place and a captivating film about the way art emerges from the intimate details of everyday life.

Director Ira Sachs discusses his new film, Peter Hujar’s Day, with fellow DirectorBette Gordon in a Q&A at the DGA theater in New York. In the conversation, he discusses discovering the story beats from the original 35-page writing, being inventive with blocking for a feature about a sit-down interview, and shooting in a style reminiscent of films of that era. Based on the book by Linda Rosenkrantz, the film tells the story of a single day in 1974 when Rosenkrantz and groundbreaking queer photographer Peter Hujar engaged in a freewheeling, intimate conversation. Sharing vivid stories of his interactions with literary and cultural icons like William Burroughs, Susan Sontag and Allen Ginsberg, Hujar reflects on the rhythms of everyday life in 1970s New York.

Inside the Arthouse | Ira Sachs on Peter Hujar’s Day — Queer Art, Intimacy & the Legacy of a Generation It’s been nearly 30 years since filmmaker Ira Sachs made his indie debut with The Delta. While many of his peers moved toward studio franchises or television, Sachs has remained committed to crafting deeply personal films that explore love, identity, and the quiet intricacies of human connection. In his new feature, Peter Hujar’s Day, Sachs turns to the rediscovered transcript of Linda Rosenkrantz’s 1974 interview with groundbreaking photographer Peter Hujar — a portrait of an artist, a community, and a moment in American culture that shaped everything that followed. With mesmerizing performances from Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall, the film becomes a meditation on memory, creation, and the passage of time — a tender homage to queer history and artistic truth. At just 76 minutes, it’s lean but layered — a film that lingers like a photograph, revealing more the longer you look. 🎙️ Join hosts Greg Laemmle and Raphael Sbarge for an intimate conversation with Ira Sachs about art, legacy, and why the most radical act in cinema might still be honesty. @Laemmle @OfficialRaphaelSbarge @janusfilmsnyc #PeterHujarsDay @janusfilms #IraSachs #BenWhishaw #RebeccaHall #JanusFilms #Sideshow #IndependentFilm#ArthouseCinema #IndieFilm #InsideTheArthouse #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres Ira Sachs interview, Peter Hujar’s Day film, Ben Whishaw, Rebecca Hall, Linda Rosenkrantz, queer cinema, independent film, arthouse film podcast, Inside the Arthouse, LGBTQ+ filmmakers, contemporary indie film, Peter Hujar photographer, queer art history, Ira Sachs Passages, Love Is Strange #InsideTheArthouse #IraSachs #PeterHujarsDay #BenWhishaw #RebeccaHall #QueerCinema #IndependentFilm #ArthouseFilm #FilmPodcast #Cinephile #LGBTQFilm #IndieFilm #FilmDiscussion #FilmLovers #RaphaelSbarge #GregLaemmle #LaemmleTheatres#BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #FilmmakerInterview #FilmPodcast #VideoPodcast #FilmAnalysis #CreativeProcess #StorytellingMatters #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmDistribution #FilmBusiness #MovieIndustry #IndieCinema #FilmFestivals #RepertoryCinema#Filmmaking #DirectorInterview #OnSetStories#arthouse #arthouseFilm @laemmle #BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatres Learn more about your ad choices.
