Hi Matt,
It's been awhile since I've seen Rudy Burckhardt's Eastside Summer, but

Chuck, Helen Levitt's still camera was nothing specially design to
trick people. She used an eyepiece that is not unlike many of the
optical viewfinders that folks attach to DSLRs today. But, it did allow
her to point her body in a different direction, away from her subjects,
while she shot.

Hello Frameworkers,
I am trying to drum up a list of films/videos that use voyeurism and/or
street photography as a central component. 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
Helen Levitt's IN THE STREET is probably a prime example. She worked as a
still photographer and reportedly developed a camera that actually took
pictures looking in a different direction than what the casual observer would
think. Not exactly hidden, but unaware. When she made the film, with

The title slips my mind, and I'm not around my books at the moment,
but Ernie Gehr has a wonderful NYC film that was shot from inside,
slightly above street eye level, looking out at people on the street
who are mostly elderly and shown
Karl Kels: Sidewalk, 2008.
Wayne Wang / Paul Schrader: Smoke, 1995, in which Harvey Keitel's cigar store
proprietor photographs the street scene outside his shop every morning at the

The Super 8 work of Jaap Pieters fits this bill.
Two of my own films, I Colonize the Golden Trianlge and War Heb Je Voor Het
Gekkeken feature this type of voyeurism as central elements, and many of my
Super 8 diary films feture it as supporting elements. You can see these on
vimeo.

Actually a number of Ernie Gehr's films do this, including the
afore-mentioned *Untitled: Part 1 (1981)*, *This Side of Paradise*,
*City*(digital video) and his recently released digital video
