Film und Foto Klub // Peter Hujar's Day

A bi-annual film club about photography screens Ira Sachs's Peter Hujar's Day (2025) at The Banshee Labyrinth.

AGITATE's Film und Foto Klub presents the second instalment of 2026 with a screening of Peter Hujar's Day (2025), directed by Ira Sachs. The film stars Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall in a rendering of a recorded 1974 conversation in which photographer Peter Hujar describes a single day's activities to writer Linda Rosenkrantz, touching on figures such as Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Susan Sontag and the texture of downtown New York. The event includes background on Hujar, the influential black-and-white portrait photographer of the 1970s and 80s. Doors open at 7:20 PM, the film runs two hours, and attendance is for ages 18+ with limited capacity; the cinema room is not wheelchair accessible.
