Never Give Up: Imogen Cunningham

1976 • Directed by

Ann Hershey

Considered one of the century's great photographers, Imogen Cunningham (1883-1976) is profiled in this 1974 film that follows the slightly eccentric artist in her native Seattle. Cunningham reflects upon her life in photography, and shares her thoughts about feminism, work, marriage, old age and death--all conveyed with an irascible humor that sustained and fortified her throughout her long life. Showcasing many of Cunningham's photos, this film is a tribute to her life and legacy.
