Presented in conjunction with the Houston FotoFest Biennial
Featuring a post-screening Q&A with the filmmaker and Joshua Mann Pailet.
From Houston to the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter, CHASING THE LIGHT: A LIFE THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS captures the extraordinary journey of photographer and dealer Joshua Mann Pailet. Inspired by legendary art collector Dominique de Menil in the 1970s, Pailet transformed his passion for photography into "A Gallery for Fine Photography", now one of the longest continuously operating fine art photography galleries since 1973. This intimate documentary weaves together archival imagery, candid interviews, and the soul of New Orleans to reveal the passion and triumphs of a life devoted to photography, and Pailet's significant contributions to the art world.
Featuring interviews and appearances with poet, commentator Andrei Codrescu; Curator, Photo-journalist Wendy Watriss; James Andrews musician (Rebirth Brass Band)
