Our fleet of happy workers are proud make public the news that the entire body of films made by Danny Lyon, many with the help of Nancy Lyon, can now be streamed on Vimeo, GRATIS. Though much time and treasure went into the making of these films, created between 1969 and the present, the overwhelming consensus seems to be that everything on the internet ought to be free. There is some justice in this in the fact that all of these works were made using real people, alive in the real world.

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.
