   Streetsweeper's Blurbs
About me:
SHANKS' PONY PICTURES PRODUCES QUALITY CINEMA: OFFICIAL STREETSWEEPER WEBSITE. Streetsweeper. A man rambles on, across the city he once loved. The streetsweeper is a loner who finds poetry in the ordinary... Streetsweeper is a bold idiosyncratic 80 minute feature film. A portrait of a distinctly urban Australian landscape as seen through the keen eyes of an eccentric pedestrian. We're inspired by the great "street" films of Antonioni, Chaplin, Godard, Jarmusch, Kiarostami, Tati, Vertov & Wenders.
