ICP Hosts Bonus Screening of 'Spirit of the Photobooth' Documentary

A special showing of the documentary 'Spirit of the Photobooth' is scheduled at the International Center of Photography (ICP). Directed and written by Sam Anthony, the film delves into the photobooth's history and its revival across the globe. It first premiered at ICP in September 2026, coinciding with the centennial celebration of the inaugural photobooth's launch. Admission to this screening is complimentary with a museum ticket, and the documentary has a runtime of 96 minutes. As noted in the film's synopsis, 2026 marks the centenary of the photobooth, which once thrived in various public spaces but faced decline due to the advent of smartphones and selfies. Nonetheless, the documentary illustrates that the classic booths are making a comeback.
