A sidewalk is universal. Every morning children make their way to school, leaving their home behind and entering a world of their peers, for better or worse. The act of traveling, whether it be walking, riding, or skipping, is the start of a new day. Duki Dror’s film, winner for best cinematography at DocAviv, is a meditation on that daily journey, one which is embedded deep in our collective memory. This journey is a brief window of time where children are free from both parental restraints and teacher’s rules, and Sidewalk provides an unpretentious and charming look at this ritual. The film interweaves the stories of seven children on their walks to and from school; these children display everything from fearful, worried or stressed behavior, to playful and carefree moments.

Director: Ian Rosenberg

Director Ian Rosenberg filmed the corner of Grand and Pitt Streets from 7 a.m. to  7 p.m. to document the hustle and bustle of his Lower East Side neighborhood. This mesmerizing short film becomes a fast-paced amalgam of people from older Jewish labor unionists, young Orthodox families, Chinese-Americans, African-Americans, among many others, as they unwittingly participate in a multi-cultural parade on Grand Street.
