Arthur Elgort: Models & Muses

IN ATTENDANCE: WARREN ELGORT AND ARTHUR ELGORT

In this intimate and visually rich documentary, filmmaker Warren Elgort turns the camera on his father, legendary fashion photographer Arthur Elgort, whose candid, movement-driven style transformed the pages of Vogue and redefined the look of modern fashion photography. Told through unprecedented archival footage, iconic Vogue shoots, and heartfelt interviews with collaborators like Anna Wintour, André Leon Talley and Linda Evangelista, the captivating film captures the spontaneity, humor, and genius behind Arthur’s work. As Warren uncovers the man behind the camera, the film becomes both a celebration of a creative legacy and a tender portrait of a father through the eyes of his son. 83mins.
