A Street with No Name - short film filmed in China

A Street with No Name is a contemplative short film essay by Canadian filmmaker Perry Mark Stratychuk, capturing the quiet rhythm of a narrow, well-traveled alleyway in Tianjin, China, just south of Beijing. Winding through a university campus filled with apartments and dormitories, this unique passageway connects neighborhoods and serves as both a residential artery and a commercial lifeline—lined with modest shops, homes, and daily movement.

Shot with a minimalist, observational style, the film documents the textures of Chinese suburban life, where tradition and modernity coexist in the smallest of shared spaces. In several scenes, Stratychuk himself appears walking through the alley—his presence subtly woven into the visual narrative, blurring the line between observer and participant.

Perfect for fans of micro-documentaries, urban studies, and experimental nonfiction cinema, Alleyway Between invites viewers to reflect on the stories embedded in everyday paths and the quiet choreography of communal space.
