Cinema Verite - Defining the Moment

Aroview: Unique "documentary of documentaries" from the dir. of MANUFACTURING CONSENT that chronicles "Cinema Verite", a film-making movement bound by a mandate to "show life as it really is".

A filmmaking revolution of the 1950s and 60s that has been since popularized by everything from 'Reality Television' to dramas such as "The Blair Witch Project", this is rich in footage from Verite classics including "Primary" (JFK), "Lonely Boy" (Paul Anka), "Jane" (Jane Fonda), "Don't Look Back" (Bob Dylan) and "Salesmen" (The Maysles Brothers), and features interviews with such prodigious 'truth-seekers' as D.A. Pennebaker, Frederick Wiseman, and Barbara Kopple.
