A film adaptation of the book, Peter Hujar's Day, by Linda Rosenkrantz. It invites audiences into a single day in 1974 with groundbreaking queer photographer Peter Hujar.

Through their freewheeling, intimate exchange, Hujar shares vivid stories of his interactions with literary and cultural icons like William Burroughs, Candy Darling, Susan Sontag and Allen Ginsberg, while also reflecting on the rhythms of everyday life in 1970s New York.
