Simply one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry ever put to film. Enjoy this classic film by Helen Levitt, Janice Loeb, and James Agee shot in the late 1940s on the streets of East Harlem.
Helen Levitt's contribution to photography can not be understated. Her photos revealed the restless poetry in the streets of New York and transformed the way we talk about the urban experience. As photographers and New Yorkers we owe her much.
