A film by Hellen Levitt " In The Street film"
This short 16mm film by Hellen Levitt, Janice Loeb, and James Agee. was made in East Harlam in 1941-2. Hellen Levitt is perhaps the only photographer to truly capture the city streets of {NYC} during the early 1940s.
"Every unnoticed human being of the city is a poet, a masker, a warrior, a dancer: and in his innocent artistry he projects, against the Turmoil of the street an image of human existence."
