Thank you for not interposing a soundtrack, it lets us view the footage on our own terms.

She is able to move the camera through crowds and bill boards and marques in search of stories. The fact that she finds them is amazing. She is able to use the video the way she used her still camera to find a snap shot of a story, incredibly composed. A genius.

I have the 8mm projector it is great like u say

I had to watch every last minute of this, it drew me in. Fascinating the way subjects were picked out and isolated. VM was a true movie philanthropist!

Very beautiful to see Vivian Maiers movies,Its amazing to see so many people just going about their day and waving and smiling to Vivian.So many stories and moments captured.

i wanna cry when i see all those people, makes me feel i wanna live those days

This is the downtown Chicago I remember from my childhood. I love how it starts with the train ride to get you there and you emerge onto the street to see women in their colorful dresses.

loved this! and not a cellphone in sight!

2:30 WEEKEND WITH THE BABYSITTER plus FOUNTAIN OF LOVE ...the fact that she was filming that is brilliant and delightfully ironic

This is so cool to see, people actually dressed up when they were downtown. I was definitely born a little too late (mid-70s). I wonder what people will be saying about us when film/video/cell phone footage is uploaded on a video file sharing website in 50 years, if something like that will still exist?

Beautiful and inspired footage...and quite a diary of a different Chicago and time.

It is impossible for me to see this film without wondering what happened to those people's lives.

this is stunning.

Wow! An actual printed newspaper! Remember those? A simpler time. Great video! Love it!

They still print newspapers today. Maybe stick to the 'wow no cellphone' comments because you're coming off a bit too contrived.

One thing I can only say about her work... Remarkable !!

Looks like she went out for the day, brought camera and film and just filmed, until she had used it all. What a way, to spend an exciting day. She looked to like filming reflections, in glass.

She had a brilliant eye

Wow. Love the way she includes bits of chronological detail so we can actually get an idea of the time she was filming. Would love to know if it was 8mm or Super 8. She liked to keep up with gear, so it may have been super 8.

wonderful colors, wonderful atmosphere! I wish Kodachrome still existed!

feels like a stake out.... love it

"Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", 1970. Written by Roger Ebert, who had become friends with Russ Meyer after writing favorable reviews of several of his films. Interesting.

The movie theatre is playing "Weekend With The Babysitter" and "Fountain Of Love". Very appropriate.

Raymond Johnson "Without A Stitch" indeed opened 08/26/70 at the Loop. The master list of films at the Loop doesn't pick up again until 12/16/1970 with "Equinox" though.

It was called the Howard-Englewood Line in 1970.

Not many overweight people at that time! Look at the people in any american city now....

I like how she focused on the woman wearing shorts and the funny hat. I imagine back then she was an outlier but today she would look perfectly normal.

watch closely...did not see one woman wearing pants or jeans

Things you don't see anymore...people going to a porn movie in the middle of the day or people carrying hat boxes. Not too many fatties either.

if you want some music to go with i played nicolas jaar's 'space is only noise' album from the tracl 'almost fell' onwards and it worked amazingly

at 4:22 is that a guy? just askin
