A short film by Carmen Vidal set in New York - winner of the Student Academy Award in 2006. It's a documentary in the "urban symphony" style, and depicts New York city in the moments before dawn.
There's something about cities waking up. When I think about mornings in the city I always think about Paris, when they clean the streets by running water through them, the sounds of a city which you hear all day, but more focused on.
Arnhem wakes up like that as well, cleaning, preparing the city for a new day, the guy across the street preparing the terrace, hours before the first visitors will arrive. He always ends his ritual by having a cappuchino on his favourite spot on that terrace. Great to watch when you know he has no clue that you watch him every morning.
Nice movie. Indeed, the sight, the smell and the feeling of a city waking up is special. When we have a citytrip to Rome or Paris or something like that, opening up your window en see, feel and smell all the thing is so beautiful! Loading for a new day of a lot of people en dirt and doing the same thing all over again in 24 hours is a great fact about living in the cities. I have a little bit of that feeling when I walk through the citie of Bergen op Zoom to the station every morning.
