Jay Leyda – A Bronx Morning (1931)
Quote:
A Bronx morning is a portrait of a place and time, simultaneously a documentary, an avant-garde experiment, and an amateur film–although its compositional beauty and complex editing disguise that it is a 21-year old’s first attempt at moviemaking. Architectural abstractions are only part of Leyda’s portrait. The film soon naturalizes its abstractions into a vibrant vision of children’s games and adult commerce on the summer streets of the Bronx, the New York borough northeast of Manhattan.
Quote:
Arrival in the Bronx is shown with a view from an elevated train as it enters the city. Then follows a montage of sights from the Bronx. Many typical neighborhood activities are shown, along with scenes from many local businesses.

The film has been selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
It would be great if you could make a tag such as “National Registry” for this kind of movies (“Castro Street” as well, among those you recently posted): all the movies preserved in the National Film Registry have been considered “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.
Thanks for all your great work!
