This short film documents the daily life of the goings-on on Orchard Street, a commercial street in the Lower East Side New York City. “1955, my first film, revisiting the Jewishness (permeating the street at that time) of my upbringing. I was afterwards told there was no chance of screening a documentary longer than twelve minutes, so I cut it down. 2014, with my daughter Nisi at the computer, a close return to the original was effected, in luxurious silence.” (Ken Jacobs)
