Castro Street (1966) is a visual nonstory shortdocumentary film directed byBruce Baillie.[1][2]
Inspired bySatie,[3] the film uses the sounds and sights of a city street—in this case, Castro Street near theStandard Oil Refinery inRichmond, California, complete with diesel trains and gas plants[4]—to convey the street's own mood and feel as there is no dialogue in thisnon-narrativeexperimental film.
In 1992, the film was selected for preservation in the United StatesNational Film Registry by theLibrary of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[5] TheAcademy Film Archive preservedCastro Street in 2000.[6]
