Rebecca Lyon’s interview with filmmakers Danny and Nancy Lyon

Posted by dektol on April 24, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Rebecca Lyon has produced two of the most insightful interviews ever done with Danny Lyon. Is this because Rebecca, an archival projectionist at the Music Box in Chicago, and an active member of the Chicago Film Society, is also the youngest child of filmmakers Nancy and Danny Lyon? Or is it just because of her great love of film?

The Films of Danny Lyon - Vimeo, DVD, and 16mm print rental
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. With the recent recognition of the 2016 de Young/Whitney retrospective, funds were provided to preserve these remarkable 16mm films. High resolution digital scans were made from the original A&B negative rolls under the close supervision of the artist. The DVD covers themselves, first made for VHS tapes, have been recognized for their power and realism, and are on display at the San Francisco Museum of Art show which opened November 3^rd, 2016.
