Hello,
Consider the brief close-up appearance of the cockatoo around the last
third of Citizen Kane. Cut to bird, loud bird shriek on soundtrack, then

audience, exactly as
The films of Raul Ruiz are full of weird 'out of the blue' events that
are never explained. He talks about them in his Poetic of Cinema books.

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

with memorable street scenes with only a few people who are actually part of
the fiction in the frame. I just taught Shoot the Piano Player and was
especially struck by a scene in which Truffaut unnecessarily has
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

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
translations of
street scenes filmed in the 1970s (or '60s?). Or even his *Eureka* if you
