In the Street (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Street is a short 1948 silent film shot in New York directed and edited by American photographer Helen Levitt, assisted by novelist and critic James Agee and fellow photographer Janice Loeb. In the Street was shot with small 18mm hidden cameras and documents the grim realities of Harlem street-life, especially that of its children at play. It can be seen as a continuation of Levitt's exploration of children's street culture prevalent in her photography, but also explores the mundane life lead by their working class parents.
It was selected for the 2006 National Film Registry list.
