The artistry of the 11-minute black-and-white film Manhatta by photographer Paul Strand and painter Charles Sheeler helped to bring it to a broader audience than most avant-garde productions of the time. The stark cinematography that captured the 60-plus images of Manhattan is edited together into an elegantly rhythmic configuration. Interspersed with quotations from the writings of Walt Whitman. Manhatta inspired a genre of "city films" by directors such as Robert Flaherty and Alberto Cavalcanti.

Manhatta was added to the National Film Registry in 1995.
