Los Ninos Abandonados, 1975, Columbia, color, 63 minutes [The Abandoned Children]

Spanish with English subtitles.

An insipiring film with unforgetable imagery.

"Unobtrusively, Lyon records the boys' aimless daily lives. Los Ninos Abandonados is an angry film with the quiestest tones imaginable -- and is all the more persuasive for being so."
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

"Some of the finest hand-held cinematography to date."
Morgan Wesson, George Eastman House

". . . Lyon opts for compassion rather than analysis."
Scott Meek, Time Out, London.

Part of our Danny Lyon Film Season (25 - 28 June)

Danny Lyon - film maker photographer.
 Danny is a film maker who takes up his own subjectivity as a personal banner. There is no hidden observer, look into the shot and you will always see the shadow of the film maker.  A film without its shadow is like a secret code never revealed.
