Blog : 'Street' at The Met, NY

Shooting in NY this week and got a chance to visit The Met today to see James Nares' beautiful and mesmerising film 'Street'. James Nares says of the film, "My intention was to give the dreamlike impression of floating through a city full of people frozen in time, caught Pompeii-like, at a particular moment of thought, expression, or activity... a film to be viewed 100 years from now". As I was leaving a young boy turned to his mother and, pointing to the screen, asked, "What's that?" to which she replied, "Oh, that's just people walking".
