Peter Hujar's Day at GFT - Glasgow West End

2 – 12 January, 2026

(Captioned screenings 6th and 9th January)

Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall star in the stunning new film from Ira Sachs, a richly cinematic rendering of the meeting of acclaimed photographer Peter Hujar and writer and artist Linda Rosenkrantz.

In 1974, famed photographer Peter Hujar describes the routines and rituals that define an artist’s life, capturing a single day’s activities from interactions with cultural icons of the day, including Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Susan Sontag and the texture and energy of downtown New York in its heyday. Elegant and intimate — and a dazzling showcase for the two performers at its centre — Peter Hujar’s Day is both a masterful portrait of a time and place and a captivating film about the way art emerges from the intimate details of everyday life.

Peter Hujar’s Day has just scored a leading five nominations at the Independent Spirit Awards – the most of any title this year!
