Vivian Maier 8mm Home Movie 

Thank you for not interposing a soundtrack, it lets us view the footage on our own terms.

She is able to move the camera through crowds and bill boards and marques in search of stories. The fact that she finds them is amazing. She is able to use the video the way she used her still camera to find a snap shot of a story, incredibly composed. A genius.

8mm has such a beautiful color to it! Looks even better seeing it on an actual projector!

i wanna cry when i see all those people, makes me feel i wanna live those days

This is the downtown Chicago I remember from my childhood. I love how it starts with the train ride to get you there and you emerge onto the street to see women in their colorful dresses.

I had to watch every last minute of this, it drew me in. Fascinating the way subjects were picked out and isolated. VM was a true movie philanthropist!

2:30 WEEKEND WITH THE BABYSITTER plus FOUNTAIN OF LOVE ...the fact that she was filming that is brilliant and delightfully ironic

loved this! and not a cellphone in sight!

Very beautiful to see Vivian Maiers movies,Its amazing to see so many people just going about their day and waving and smiling to Vivian.So many stories and moments captured.

This is so cool to see, people actually dressed up when they were downtown. I was definitely born a little too late (mid-70s). I wonder what people will be saying about us when film/video/cell phone footage is uploaded on a video file sharing website in 50 years, if something like that will still exist?

Beautiful and inspired footage...and quite a diary of a different Chicago and time.

One thing I can only say about her work... Remarkable !!

Wow! An actual printed newspaper! Remember those? A simpler time. Great video! Love it!

this is so cool!! I kept looking for someone I know.... would love to have met Vivian Maier!

Looks like she went out for the day, brought camera and film and just filmed, until she had used it all. What a way, to spend an exciting day. She looked to like filming reflections, in glass.

wonderful colors, wonderful atmosphere! I wish Kodachrome still existed!

It is impossible for me to see this film without wondering what happened to those people's lives.

this is stunning.

"Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", 1970. Written by Roger Ebert, who had become friends with Russ Meyer after writing favorable reviews of several of his films. Interesting.

I was going to say this looks about 1970 judging by the style. Then I checked out the movie " weekend with the babysitter" and it was from 1970.

The Chicago I discovered as a young man nearly 50 years ago.

Amazing!!! and I suddenly realised that NoOne have mobile phone!!!

The movie theatre is playing "Weekend With The Babysitter" and "Fountain Of Love". Very appropriate.

❤❤❤ I WANT TO GO BACK … life was much better

She had a brilliant eye

Edwin Starr's "War" was the #1 song that week, and the Cubs beat the Padres 8-4 that Friday.

feels like a stake out.... love it

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls = 1970.

Maravilhoso

Travis bickle at 9.40

What camera? Dont omit such a details next time.

Without a Stitch: that movie came out in 1968.

le quotidien de l amérique

You notice most of the women wore dresses..somthing you don't see very often

Is this Chicago? Does anyone recognise the places?

What is that in the beginning ? Sorry but i was not born in that timeline.

Wow.

I am just wondering if the couple at 6:26 were holding the newspaper up in front of their faces to prevent them from appearing on film?

Gizemli dadım, yine daldım sana

the history of fashion

Ummm what is that at the start just asking

Things you don't see anymore...people going to a porn movie in the middle of the day or people carrying hat boxes. Not too many fatties either.

looks like the redline and a lot of those buildings still have not changed..

I like how she focused on the woman wearing shorts and the funny hat. I imagine back then she was an outlier but today she would look perfectly normal.

if you want some music to go with i played nicolas jaar's 'space is only noise' album from the tracl 'almost fell' onwards and it worked amazingly

1970 era

watch closely...did not see one woman wearing pants or jeans

Scary fact: 99,8 % of the people in this movie are dead. Including the film maker.

Wow. Love the way she includes bits of chronological detail so we can actually get an idea of the time she was filming. Would love to know if it was 8mm or Super 8. She liked to keep up with gear, so it may have been super 8.

Should have added a music track.

Les femmes noires comme les femmes blanches étaient belles et élancées. Point d'obésité en ce temps là

what a great survey of cold war capitalist culture.

at 4:22 is that a guy? just askin

Another troubled genius.

Not many overweight people at that time! Look at the people in any american city now....

Where's the rest of these films?
