Phil Gries on the making of Harlem School 1970

TVC 638.1: From February 2018: Phil Gries joins us to discuss Harlem School 1970, an original documentary that provides an inside look at a typical day at Community School No. 30M in Harlem, New York, where Phil taught for three years before embarking on his long career as an award-winning cinematographer for film and television. Filmed, produced and directed by Phil Gries, Harlem School 1970 is an early example of “direct cinema,” a form of documentary storytelling that allows viewers to watch the narrative unfold and shape their own meaning without narration or outside interviews. For our listeners on the East Coast, Harlem School 1970 will be shown at the Maysles Documentary Center in New York City on Thursday, Mar. 14 beginning at 7pm.
