Скачать или смотреть Chicago Late 1930s in color [60fps, Remastered] w/Sound Design

I colorized, restored, and created the sound design for this rare video of Chicago in the late 1930s. The footage captures the city’s industrial and coastal atmosphere along some of its major streets and landmarks — South Shore Dr., Jackson Park, Lake Shore Dr., South Chicago Ave, 79th St., and 75th St. It offers a vivid glimpse into everyday life during that era, when the movement of cars, factories, and people reflected the pulse of a growing metropolis.

Pare Lorentz (1905–1992) was an American filmmaker, writer, and producer, widely regarded as a pioneer of social and environmental documentary cinema. A key figure of the New Deal era, he worked for the U.S. Film Service, where he directed landmark films such as The Plow That Broke the Plains (1936) and The River (1938). Combining poetic narration, orchestral music, and striking imagery, his documentaries exposed the consequences of land overuse and highlighted government efforts to restore ecological and economic balance. Lorentz is often seen as a forerunner of the modern socially conscious documentary.

Special thanks to Scott (@JaySverisson) for his kind assistance in identifying and verifying this footage.
