Malik Bader's intimate knowledge of the criminal world creates a startlingly realistic and gritty portrait of a burglar. STREET THIEF captures the daily routine of Chicago's most elusive burglar, Kaspar Carr, as he taps phones, cases stores, cracks open safes and pulls off numerous scores. Borrowing from the traditions of film noir and cinema verite, STREET THIEF creates a new, exhilarating genre of filmmaking; tapping into our voyeuristic obsession with crime, and questioning the very nature of documentary filmmaking.
Filmed on Super 16 Kodak Film - Arri SR3 Camera.
