===Still photography and filmmaking=== Over the next few decades, Strand worked in motion pictures as well as still photography. His first film, ''[[Manhatta]]'' ([[1921 in film|1921]]), was made with painter/photographer [[Charles Sheeler]].<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2022-01-11|title=Symphonies of steel and stone: silent cinema and the city|url=http://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2016/mar/21/city-symphonies-silent-cinema-paul-strand-victoria-albert|date=21 March 2016|website=The Guardian}}</ref> Also known as ''New York the Magnificent'', the [[silent film]] depicted the day-to-day life of New York City. ''Manhatta'' includes a shot similar to Strand's famous ''Wall Street'' (1915) photograph. In 1932β35, he lived in Mexico and worked on ''[[Redes (film)|Redes]]'' ([[1936 in film|1936]]), a film commissioned by the Mexican government, released in the US as ''The Wave''. Other films he was involved with were the documentary ''[[The Plow That Broke the Plains]]'' ([[1936 in film|1936]]) and the pro-union, anti-fascist ''[[Native Land]]'' ([[1942 in film|1942]]). From 1933 to 1952, Strand had no darkroom of his own and used those of others.<ref name=Stockeregg>{{cite book| title = Paul Strand| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=nnFOAAAAYAAJ| pages = 62 (dark room), 72 (AGLOSO)| date = 1987| access-date = 23 June 2020| last1=Strand | first1=Paul }}</ref>
