Cinema Verite:
The story of DOCUMENTARY film making... the early pioneers and the evolution of non-fiction film.
CINEMA VERITE or DIRECT CINEMA was the revolution of the 1950s and 60s, driven by film makers who wanted to show life as it really was - raw, gritty and dramatic.
PETER WINTONICK, whose Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, is one of the bestselling documentaries of all time, has directed this unique 'documentary of documentaries', shot with lightweight equipment in verite style in widescreen digital video.
Rich in footage from classics such as Primary (J F Kennedy), Lonely Boy (Paul Anka), Jane (Jane Fonda), Don't Look Back (Bob Dylan), Nanook of the North and the Blair Witch Project, the pioneers and players in the developing story of reality film are featured in this all-encompassing tribute, including Jean-Pierre Beauviaia, Michel Brault, Gillian Caldwell and Marcel Carriere, to name but a few.
Informative and entertaining, this DVD will have a broad appeal.
