THR's Docs to Watch
Avedon
Richard Avedon's influence is the blueprint for our image-driven world. His photographs capturing world leaders, pop culture icons, and international supermodels didn't just reflect contemporary culture — they shaped it. Avedon traces the life and legacy of an artist who used photography to reinvent the world around him. Drawing on unprecedented access to his personal archives, the film explores how his singular eye both reflected and reshaped the visual language of the 20th century, and why even the most iconic image is only half the story. A Netflix release.
A Q&A with director and producer Ron Howard and producer Sara Bernstein immediately follows the screening.
