In the Street is a 16-minute documentary film released in 1948 and again in 1952.[1] The black and white, silent film was shot in the mid-1940s in the Spanish Harlem section of New York City. Helen Levitt, Janice Loeb, and James Agee were the cinematographers; they used small, hidden 16 mm film cameras to record street life, especially of children.[2] Levitt edited the film and, subsequent to its first release, added a piano soundtrack composed and performed by Arthur Kleiner.[3][4] In 2020 Ben Model composed for a special Museum of Modern Art screening a new music score.[5] This version plays about 18 minutes.
