Movies and TvShows featuring "urban-footage" theme.

News from Home is a documentary film that explores daily life in New York City through urban exploration and footage. It provides a glimpse into the mundane routines and experiences of its inhabitants, offering a feminist perspective on the city's street life, traffic, and subway cars. The film adopts an essay-film style and incorporates correspondence in the form of letters from home. With long tracking shots and a focus on the city's vanishing aspects, it captures the essence of New York City and its urban landscape.

A film on exile, revolution, landscapes and memory, Anabasis brings forth the remarkable parallel stories of Adachi and May, one a filmmaker who gave up images, the other a young woman whose identity-less existence forbade keeping images of her own life. Fittingly returning the image to their lives, director Eric Baudelaire places Adachi and May’s revelatory voiceover reminiscences against warm, fragile Super-8mm footage of their split milieus, Tokyo and Beirut. Grounding their wide-ranging reflections in a solid yet complex reality, Anabasis provides a richly rewarding look at a fascinating, now nearly forgotten era (in politics and cinema), reminding us of film’s own ability to portray—and influence—its landscape.
