Finger on the button, eye glued to the viewfinder, he crouches there, trying to imitate a fireplug's unobtrusiveness while putting a frame around inchoate reality. But much as one admires the discipline of the cinema verite cameraman, sooner or later there comes a time when one wants to scream at him, "Stop being a camera! Start being a human being!" There are many of these moments in Streetwise, a film by Director-Cameraman Martin Bell, Mary Ellen Mark and Cheryl McCall, about adolescents adrift on the streets of Seattle. The first, surely, is when Erin, one of the principal...
...humiliating. Secretary of Labor Raymond Donovan walked into a forbidding concrete courthouse in New York City last week to be booked, fingerprinted and photographed like a common criminal. He looked startled when the policeman taking his mug shot remarked dryly, "I suppose I'll see you again." The cameraman was joking, other officers explained. "I don't think he was," replied the grim-faced Secretary. After going through more than two hours of processing, including a computerized check of his fingerprints against those of known fugitives, Donovan was led by detectives to a New York State Supreme Court...
...Actors' Equity rule that required all technicians present to be in the buff too, Walters explained.

On the Road reports have graced several CBS news programs, and they will be a centerpiece of a prime-time series, The American Parade, anchored by Kuralt, that premieres on Tuesday, March 27 (8 p.m., E.S.T...
...contrast between the blundering ways of man and the sometimes harsh, sometimes subtle efficiency with which a natural environment functions when left to its own devices. As the Mowat character, Charles Martin Smith plays with ingratiating innocence, stubborn and plucky. His art, like that of Ballard's cameraman, Hiro Narita, lies in understatement that does not imply dispassion. Ballard and his masterly crew of film makers have reimagined a corner of the natural world, metaphorically connecting the cold spaces and indifferent silences of a vast land with the heated struggle for existence taking place closer to the ground, nearer...
