Here’s D.A. Pennebaker’s early 1950s Soundie/Short Film “Daybreak Express” (youtu.be/9fZ0-T80YD8?...) featuring music by Duke Ellington. The film is centered around the NYC route of a soon-to-be demolished Manhattan train.

American documentary filmmaker and one of the pioneers of direct cinema. Performing arts and politics were his primary subjects, D. A. Pennebaker wrote, "Animals are companions on this planet, not necessarily our feedbags." #DAPennebaker #animals

A sad day for doc fans with the loss of #DAPennebaker. And I didn't know he was Evanston's own @phillipstribune! I never met the man, but frequently teach his classics DON'T LOOK BACK and THE WAR ROOM. His last indie doc UNLOCKING THE CAGE showed him still in top form.
