‘Manhatta’ – a Short Film About a Place in New York

In 1920 two chaps called Charles Sheeler (an artist/photographer from Philly) and Paul Strand (a filmaker from New York) made this film, which apparently took inspiration from Walt Whitman’s lifelong work The Leaves of Grass. The track comes from The Cinematic Orchestra (Ninjatune).
