Avedon on Netflix: Ron Howard explores the photographer’s archives

With Avedon, announced for Netflix, Ron Howard revisits how the photographer’s images were made. The documentary draws on his personal archives and new interviews with his collaborators.

Previously unseen photographs and behind-the-scenes footage offer a look back at his work, spanning fashion, portraits and public figures. The film explores the story of the man behind these images as much as their place in the visual culture of the 20th century.

Presented at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, the documentary is produced by Imagine Documentaries and Fifth Season, in association with the Richard Avedon Foundation.
