Also Burckhardt's "Under the Brooklyn Bridge" and "What Mozart Saw on Mulberry Street"

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.

But in typing this I realize that neither 'voyeurism' nor 'street photography' are really the correct words/terms to use for what I am looking for. I am interested in the cinematic equivalent of 'street photography,' specifically films like those made by Nathaniel Dorsky or Jem Cohen, where the filmmaker is filmming/recording people on the street and/or other public places without their knowledge. Voyeurism tends to be associated with watching people in private spaces doing private things, which is not what i am interested in, but the word still lends itself to this query. Any ideas of films, and good words/terms to describe them would be much appreciated! -Matt -- ------------------------------- www.rodeofilmco.com<http://www.rodeofilmco.com> ------------------------------- _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
