Whether in the form of journalism, advocacy, or personal expression, documentary film examines not only how stories get told, but also how we might inspire new ways of telling them visually.
CAPTURING REALITY DOCUMENTARY MOVIE
Capturing Reality is a 2008 documentary about… well, documentaries!ĭirected by Pepita Ferrari, the movie does feature the occasional clip, but is mostly a “talking heads” style presentation, with such notables as Albert Maysles ( Grey Gardens), Werner Herzog ( Lessons of Darkness), Errol Morris ( Gates of Heaven), Kim Longinotto ( The Day I Will Never Forget), Kevin Macdonald ( Touching the Void), and Nick Broomfield ( Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer) discussing what the documentary form means to them, and debating as to whether or not it’s possible for a film to be fully truthful. International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam Featuring 38 of the greatest names in documentary talking about every aspect of their creative process, punctuated by clips from their films, Capturing Reality has great value as an education tool - and as a validation for why we do this in the first place. Documentary film is arguably the closest medium we have to capturing reality.
