The Dancing Soul of the Walking People (1980)
Written and directed by Paula Gladstone.
Gladstone, a true Coney Islander, wrote, directed, produced and edited this film, and arranged the soundtrack using music by Duke Ellington and the Drifters with a voiceover of her own poetry. Shot over two years, the film is an abstract meditation on life under the boardwalk and a poetic document of a vanished world that emulates "city symphonies" of the 1920s such as Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences with partial funding from the WFPF of NYWIFT, the New York City Council and Eastman Kodak.
