“BILL CUNNINGHAM NEW YORK” — Directed by Richard Press. For decades, Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist and New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirees for the Times Style section. Documenting uptown fixtures, downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, “Bill Cunningham New York” is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace. Not rated. Running time: 1:24

 

Showing at: 6:30 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Portland Museum of Art.
