Danny Lyon

After his ground breaking work as a photojournalist in the 1960’s, Danny Lyon turned to films, making a series of non-fiction films in the 1970’s and 1980’s. With the recent recognition of the 2016 de Young/Whitney retrospective, funds were provided to preserve these remarkable 16mm films. High resolution digital scans were made from the original A&B negative rolls under the close supervision of the artist. In 2004 Lyon turned to Digital making Five Days with his daughter Rebecca Lyon. He followed with Murderers and Nothing further expanding his use of Non-Fiction film. SNCC, the film was created from scans of his 1960’s civil rights negatives and includes Congressman’s John Lewis last recordings.
