Finding Vivian Maier is a 2013 American documentary film about the photographer Vivian Maier, written, directed, and produced by John Maloof and Charlie Siskel, and executive produced by Jeff Garlin.
[3][4][5][6][7] Maier was a French-American woman who worked most of her life as a nanny and housekeeper to a multitude of Chicago families.
[9] The film documents how Maloof discovered her work and, after her death, uncovered her life through interviews with people who knew her.
Maloof had purchased a box of photo negatives at a 2007 Chicago auction, then scanned the images and put them on the Internet.
The website's critical consensus states, "Narratively gripping, visually striking, and ultimately thought-provoking, Finding Vivian Maier shines an overdue spotlight on its subject's long-hidden brilliance".
