SKYSCRAPER is a documentary on the construction of the Tishman Building skyscraper, on 666 Fifth Avenue in New York, directed by Shirley Clarke in collaboration with Willard Van Dyke, Irving Jacoby, D.A. Pennebaker and John Sylvester White. Shooting of the film lasted about eighteen months; Van Dyke entrusted the editing of the shot to Clarke but in an interview he declared that SKYSCRAPER "is basically a Shirley Clarke film". The director of New American Cinema, who ventured here for the first time with the 35mm format, called it a "musical comedy on the construction of a skyscraper" although initially it was inspired by the documentary THE CITY [1939] by Ralph Steiner and Van Dyke himself. The original music was composed by Teo Macero, producer and composer of jazz music, known in particular for his work with Miles Davis (from KIND OF BLUE to IN A SILENT WAY) and with Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk for Columbia Records.
Nominated for Best Live Action Short Film at the 1960 Academy Awards.
