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

These finders are different from the later right angle finders -- they usually
were designed for Leica rangefinder cameras and were fixed in orientation, so
you looked into the side of the camera. They didn't use the camera's finder.
There was also a waist level finder called the DeMorn

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

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.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but there's a little known
Milos Forman film called Taking Off that has a series of audition scenes. I

These are the actual auditions for the film from an open call. No one knew

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
