Everybody Street (2013)

Everybody Street: Directed by Cheryl Dunn. With Boogie, Martha Cooper, Bruce Davidson, Elliott Erwitt. Everybody Street” highlights the lives and work of New York’s iconic street photographers and the unparalleled city that has inspired them for decades.

“Cheryl Dunnu0026#39;s gorgeous and passionate ode to street photography is a truly wonderful film with a soundtrack that throbs to the beat of New York City past. Featuring interviews with over a dozen shooters, including the brilliant Elliott Erwitt, Mary Ellen Mark, and Joel Meyerowitz, the film is both an eye opening tutorial and a refresher course in the vibrancy of this fading genre of photography. But even aside from the amazing images on display here (and note, the stills donu0026#39;t move, the foregrounds do not detach from the backgrounds, you are given free reign to just look at the photos in all their glory as you would in a museum), the pacing, the structure never have you glancing at your watch, as is so often the case with art documentaries. Thereu0026#39;s a story here. A rich history of genius that makes us look at the human race through a clear and focused lens. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Everybody Streetu0026quot; is a must see for lovers of not only photography, but of art and New York City in general. If you know about street photography, you will adore this film. If you donu0026#39;t, get ready for an eye opening experience, get ready to fall in love with a few new photographers. But warning, it might just make you want to take to the street, get in some strangeru0026#39;s face, and take their picture.”
