You should hunt down a copy of the film I Am Cuba (Soy Cuba), it's a Russian-directed film about Cuba made in 1964 or thereabouts. The cinematography is brilliant, and the opening scene is this incredible, single tracking shot that goes through a roof top party, descends the side of a building and lands in the pool, before wandering onward. No cuts. Just a work of sheer brilliance. While looking to see if it was available online, I found this re-enactment of the shot made out of Legos. Enjoy.
