NYFF Live: David Godlis (History is Made by Night)

A frequenter of the Film Society of Lincoln Center will likely have noticed the ubiquitous David Godlis, a longtime presence here who has documented on his camera our year-round events. What some may not know is that Godlis was also front and center during the heyday of the New York Punk scene, capturing the likes of the Ramones, Blondie, Richard Hell, Patti Smith, Television, Talking Heads, and Suicide. His new book, History Is Made At Night, includes 119 of his iconic black-and-white images from nights on the Bowery at CBGB between 1974 and 1979, shot with his handheld Leica and TRI-X film. Salon noted, “These pictures are so intimate you can practically smell the sweat.” The event is moderated by FSLC Academy Organizer Brian Brooks and features a book-signing.
