The Films of Danny Lyon
-
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 3rd, 2016.

Fascinating stories… I hate to think of this generation passing away. There are so many more stories to tell. There should be a new Freedom Summer where civil rights activists meet with and mentor high school students all across the country. The kids could record the stories, learn and connect the dots to their lives today.
