Documentary
Kino-EyeMan with a Movie Camera (Dizga Vertov, 1929)
(Vertov, 1896-1954)
“Life caught unaware”
Cinéma VéritéAKA Direct CinemaDocumentary filmmaking style that began in the 1950s/early 1960s Technologically inspired—by the advent of lightweight portable cameras and sync-sound equipment to capture events as they happen on location, without a scriptInspirations: Lumiere Brothers, Vertov, Neo-Realism, Free CinemaKey Americans: D.A. Pennebaker, Albert and David Maysles, and Richard Leacock
Cinéma VéritéDirect vs. Vérité: “According to Erik Barnouw (Documentary):direct cinema: “hopes to find a crisis while shooting”; cinéma vérité: “wishes to precipitate one”Direct cinema: “an invisible observer” (Leacock’s "the fly on the wall"); cinéma vérité: “an unabashed participant”For both: filming events as they transpire leads to what Rouch has called a "privileged moment," in which a truth about the subject of the film is revealed. To what extent the presence of the camera affects the real-life situation, and thus compromises this truth, has been a hotly debated issue.--Thanks to Baseline Encyclopedia of Film
Free Cinema Documentary film movement originating in England, 1956-
1959 Spawned by the journal Sequence. Founders: Lindsay Anderson, Karel Reisz, Tony Richardson,
Anderson’s motto: "No Film Can Be Too Personal.” Governing principles:1. Freedom of propaganda2. Obliviousness to box office appeal.3. Embrace of the filmmaker’s freedom4. Ordinary people and everydayness—the primary focus5. “The image speaks. Sound amplifies and comments.”6. “Size is irrelevant.”7. “Perfection is not an aim.”8. “An attitude means a style. A style means an attitude.”
