Hi Winder, thanks for posting that link, it's a great one. I found it a while back, while looking for work by Diane Arbus. Ended up watching just about all of them!

Thanks for posting this.
I saw an exhibit of Vivian Maier photographs a couple of years back, really fascinating work.

(I need to get back out taking photos.)

Thanks for the great links, especially the Magnum link, I'd thought I'd seen all the material on this agency, but this was new to me.

Thanks for that awesome link!

The BBC video on Vivian Maier was absolutely riveting.

Great list, but it's missing Bill Cunningham New York (2010) - IMDb which is a fantastic movie

Saw this the other day on George Zimbel.

Zimbelism (2015) - IMDb
A quick guide to the man and his work.
George Zimbel - Artists - Fahey Klein Gallery
" With a precision and a sensibility, which goes much further than a sensationalist attitude or a cold gaze, Zimbel documented some of the most emblematic moments of American history. "

Although it's not strictly about street photography, I'd also highly recommend the feature length documentary about Sebastiao Salgado, "Salt of the Earth". A great film about a master photographer, and about humanity at its worst and best.

Thanks for sharing the link!

Some great pointers in there and best of all the material is mostly easily accessible.

I'm not much of a street photographer, but I have these links all saved and I do go back to them every now an then. I'm glad the link is still relevant and people still find value in it.
