Inside Ron Howard’s ‘Avedon’ Premiere at New York’s Paris Theater

The Netflix film was celebrated in New York City Tuesday night with a special screening and Q&A with director Ron Howard plus an after-party reception at Bergdorf Goodman.

Following Dior’s private screening of Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard and Imagine Documentaries’ “Avedon” in Los Angeles last week, the documentary film was celebrated via a special screening at New York City’s Paris Theater on Tuesday night ahead of its Netflix release on Wednesday.

After LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton launched 22 Montaigne Entertainment in 2024, the company received a call from Justin Wilkes, Academy Award-nominated, Emmy- and Grammy-winning producer and president of Imagine Entertainment, about the “Avedon” documentary. LVMH connected with Imagine Entertainment and Dior granted them access to the CDC archives and personnel, making the film the first entertainment project to come to light since 22 Montaigne’s launch.

“Avedon created some of the most iconic images for the world’s most luxurious brands, yet his greatest fascination was always with the human condition. That tension between beauty and truth, glamour and humanity, is what makes his work so extraordinary and enduring,” Wilkes told WWD. “Our partnership with 22 Montaigne Entertainment and the extraordinary access to the Dior archives gave Ron and our team a unique opportunity to explore that duality, making this such a special and rewarding film to bring to life.”

As previously reported by WWD , the documentary explores the legacy and life of photographer Richard Avedon, whose work helped redefine fashion photography and extended into portraiture, cultural commentary and politics.
