A feature length documentary marking 100 years since the unveiling of the first photobooth in 1926 by inventor Anatol Josepho on Broadway in New York City. The film looks at how this invention has endured to 100 years later with the resurgence of classic analog booths around the world today.
Filmed across Australia, Europe, South Korea, and the United States, "Spirit of the Photobooth" traces the photobooth’s social and cultural history, from Josepho’s invention and the democratization of portraiture to its role in the work of the Surrealists and Andy Warhol, and its renewed popularity today.
