The CCCB's cinema

Apart from being one of the most famous modern photographers in New York, Rudy Burckhardt created an extraordinary underground legacy of work as a filmmaker. Through the undetected eye of a camera, he filmed urban space as an entity that was political, vibrant, sexual and hectic, subject to the sign of the times and its relevant changes.
