Manhatta (1921) is a short documentary film directed by painter Charles Sheeler and photographer Paul Strand.

Synopsis

Le matin révèle le port de New York, les quais, le pont de Brooklyn. Un ferry-boat accoste, dégorgeant sa masse entassée. Les gens se déplacent rapidement le long de Wall Street ou se promènent plus langoureusement dans un cimetière. Des rangées de gratte-ciel dégagent des colonnes de fumée et de vapeur. En pleine vue. Ou encadré, comme à travers une balustrade. Une grue favorise l'ascension de la ville, tandis qu'un ferronnier se tient en équilibre sur une poutre haute. Une locomotive dans une gare de triage se prépare à partir, tandis qu'un paquebot qui arrive se bouscule avec des remorqueurs attentifs. La lumière du soleil qui s'estompe se reflète dans les eaux du port. L'imagerie est entrecoupée de citations de Walt Whitman, qui n'a pas de nom.

Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis is largely an avant-garde film, and does not have a story or a plot. However, the events of the film are arranged to simulate the passage of a single day (simulated from an assemblage of film shot over the period of one year). Shots and scenes are cut together based on relationships of image, motion, point of view, and thematic content. At times, a sort of non-narrative commentary can be implied, as in edits that juxtapose workers entering a factory with cattle being beaten and driven into a corral.

Flag Wars is a look inside the conflicts that surface when black working-class families are faced with an influx of white gay homebuyers to their Columbus, Ohio neighborhood. Filmed over four years, Flag Wars’ “as-it-is-happening” cinéma vérité style captures the emotions and honesty of unguarded moments as tensions mount between neighbors.
