Cinema verite defining the moment /
[videorecording] : National Film Board of Canada, 1999.
Crisis. Lonely boy. Chronicle of a summer. You may not know these films, but you see their influences every day -- in everything from TV news to music videos to Webcams. The cinema verite (or direct cinema) movement of the '50s and '60s was driven by a group of rebel filmakers tired of stilted documentaries. They wanted to show life as it really is: raw,
gritty, dramatic. Rich in excerpts from verite classics, Cinema verite: defining the moment, is the first film to capture all the excitement of a revolution that changed movie-making forever.
