Ira Sachs’s PETER HUJAR’S DAY Gets Official Trailer, Poster

Janus Films and Sideshow have unveiled the official trailer and poster for their upcoming historical drama PETER HUJAR’S DAY, which will launch in US theaters on November 7th, 2025. The film world premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Peter Hujar's Day is written and directed by Ira Sachs and stars Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall.

The film is a rendering of a conversation recorded in 1974 between photographer Peter Hujar and writer Linda Rosenkrantz. Their talk that day focused on a single 24 hours in the life of Hujar, the brilliant and famously uncompromising artist who was one of the most important figures in downtown New York’s legendary cultural scene of the 70s and 80s.

Set entirely in Linda’s Manhattan apartment, the film freely and imaginatively recreates that long-ago afternoon and the wonderfully discursive exchange between these two singular individuals. As the photographer vividly describes interactions with leading cultural figures of the day, including Allen Ginsberg and Susan Sontag, as well the challenges of living on limited financial resources in 70s New York, Peter Hujar’s Day transforms unexpectedly into a Bloomsday-like rumination on both an artist’s life and time itself.

You can find the release date on our In Theaters calendar. Check out the new official trailer and poster below.
