The Art of Documentary Film Making investigates a unique cinematic genre through encounters with some of its most influential practitioners. Over 30 luminaries – including
Albert Maysles, Errol Morris, Alanis Obomsawin, Michel Brault, Nick Broomfield, Kim Longinotto and that great iconoclast Werner Herzog – offer insight into their craft while reflecting on the nature of representation and the perennially contested status of the “truth.” More that 100 clips from landmark films enliven the discussion, offering a panoramic overview of contemporary documentary cinema.
