A free screening with a 16mm film print from the archive of the New York Public Library. Director Martin Bell and photographer Mary Ellen Mark in person for Q&A.
Streetwise portrays the lives of nine desperate teenagers. Thrown too young into a seedy grown up world, these runaways and castaways survive, but just barely. Rat, the dumpster diver, Tiny, the teenage prostitute, Shellie, the baby-faced blonde, DeWayne, the hustler, all old beyond their years. All underage survivors fighting for life and love on the streets of downtown Seattle, Washington.
Director: Martin Bell. 91 min. 1984. 16mm.
Special thanks to Angelika Saleh and Anglelika Films for permission to screen this film.
