This stylish and well-crafted biopic covers the full life of its subject, world renowned and controversial photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, most frequently providing an alluring view of New York in its grittiest era. The film stars Matt Smith and is directed by the only two-time Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner, Ondi Timoner. Sidewalk is proud to host the world premiere of the director’s cut of “Mapplethorpe,” last year’s Audience Choice winner for Best Narrative Feature. — Rachel Morgan
