Sesión 2: Sunday + Point of Order!

In Sunday (1961), Dan Drasin’s uninhibited camera, zooming in and out and around the action, caught the clash between the folk-singers and the police in New York with an immediacy and aliveness seldom seen in the documentary film or television. Drasin was greatly assisted by his ignorance of certain professional techniques which would have hampered his freedom. He came to cinema completely free of professional inhibitions. He moved with his zoom freely, against all textbook rules, not afraid of shaky movements or garbled sounds. JONAS MEKAS
