Hi Matt,

It's been awhile since I've seen Rudy Burckhardt's "Eastside Summer," but
it's spontaneous street photography (lovely, 1950s NYC footage).

I wonder, though, if by "recording people on the street," etc., you mean
that the filmmaker is shooting one particular spot, or one person, or one
activity. That would be different than Burckhardt et al. I would think more
of the sequence from Jim McBride's "David Holzman's Diary" for which the
cameraman (Michael Wadleigh) shot a handheld 'tracking shot' while walking
past a row of park benches, filming the people sitting on them. This
documentary footage (a single long take) is then incorporated into the
film's fictional context as if it were shot by the film's protagonist.
