Veteran documentary filmmaker Nina Rosenblum directs this loving tribute to her father Walter, the renowned American photographer. The film opens with the elder Rosenblum's childhood in a blue-collar Jewish neighborhood in the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the 1920s. New York's myriad of cultures and ethnicities fascinated him and would later influence his work. After an early affiliation with the celebrated Photo League during the '30s, he became both a still photographer and a filmmaker during World War II. Among Rosenblum's greater accomplishments was recording the liberation of Dachau. Presented in greater detail is his relationship with his student Naomi who would later become his wife and a noted scholar on the history of photography. Walter Rosenbaum: In Search of Pitt Street was screened at the 1999 Mills Valley Film Festival.
