Join us at ICP to celebrate 2026 Infinity Award Lifetime Achievement Winner Joel Meyerowitz with a special screening of the film Two Strangers Trying Not To Kill Each Other, which focuses on the lives of Meyerowitz and his wife Maggie as they navigate love, aging, and their creative process as artists. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Meyerowitz and ICP Creative Director David Campany.
About the Film
Late in life, two strangers–Bronx-born photographer Joel Meyerowitz and British artist/writer Maggie Barrett–meet and fall in love. Growing old is not for the faint of heart, and Joel and Maggie must face the specter of the end of life. At the same time, they are working to stay together and learn the hard lessons from previous relationship failures. First-time documentary feature filmmakers Manon Ouimet and Jacob Perlmutter, themselves creative partners and photographers, deliver a profound and deeply felt exploration of life’s biggest questions. – Jaie Laplante
