''The Street: A Film with the Homeless'' is a 78-minute 1997 documentary film about the Canadian homeless in Montreal. The film was directed by Daniel Cross and produced by him and Don Haig. The production houses were the National Film Board of Canada and Necessary Illusions Productions Inc. Made over 6 years, "The Street" is the result of the filmmakers' total immersion into the world of the homeless. It is a gutsy, raw, violent, sad, sexy, moving and intimate study of 3 homeless Montrealers who can be seen mostly near the city's Guy-Concordia metro (subway) station〔(Synopsis on EyeSteelFilm website )〕 of Société de transport de Montréal (STM). The unique approach of the camera is neither voyeuristic nor judgmental. Characters experience cycles of addiction and recovery, hope and despair - but rise above the street with a sense of dignity, humanity and community. Set in a context which sees our civil society disintegrating and the safety-net collapsing, "The Street" gets deep inside a very complex social issue, beyond mediated stereotypes.〔(Documentary Edication Resources (DER) site about the movie )〕 ==Festivals and awards== The documentary won the following awards: *Federal Express People's Choice Awards for Most Popular Canadian Documentary & Special Jury Feature Award for Documentaries, both at the Vancouver International Film Festival, 1996 *Best Social Documentary at Vermont International Film Festival *Silver Hugo Award at the Chicago Film Festival, Chicago, IL, 1998 *People's Choice Award as Most Popular Film & Nomination for "Best Feature," Hot Docs It was nominated for "Outstanding Canadian Documentary," at the Joan C.
