Skyscraper Symphony watch online

Skyscraper Symphony (1929) is an avant-garde silent short film by French-American filmmaker Robert Florey. The film was shot in the early morning hours in New York City. It captured skyscrapers which, by the late 1920s had become a global trademark of the city and became a representation of the ever-developing technologies in America, as well as the rapid growth of capitalism. Florey's focus on the booming metropolitan in the post-World War I era has solidified this film as a "city symphony," and he draws upon his own experience as a tourist in America to capture the excitement and uncertainty of being in New York City.
