Castro Street (1966) is a visual nonstory documentary film directed by Bruce Baillie.[1] [2]
Inspired by Satie,[3] the film uses the sounds and sights of a city street—in this case, Castro Street near the Standard Oil Refinery in Richmond, California, complete with diesel trains and gas plants[4] —to convey the street's own mood and feel as there is no dialogue in this non-narrative experimental film.
In 1992, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[5] The Academy Film Archive preserved Castro Street in 2000.[6]
