Avedon arrives on Netflix on November 11. Directed by Ron Howard and presented at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, the documentary explores photographer Richard Avedon’s life and legacy.

Over a career spanning more than five decades, Avedon photographed public figures and people outside the spotlight. His work included portraits and fashion photography.

According to Tudum, the film brings together material from his personal archive, behind-the-scenes footage and new interviews with close collaborators. Howard aims to explore the person and curiosity behind the images.
