CAPTURING REALITY: THE ART OF DOCUMENTARY
I'm taking a film elective that's going to be mainly focused on documentaries so we watched this, as a documentary about documentaries, to kick off the class. It was pretty interesting, but pretty much just a series of interviews with clips from films so if you're not one for just watching people talk then it probably wouldn't entertain you. I found it especially interesting when they asked the same questions to different directors/filmmakers but got wildly different answers. It shows that documentary really is a wide open field with a whole lot of different possibilities and directions.
