It’s an investigation, a quest to find the truth in a web of contradictions. It’s a great way to ease into the genre, because of the strong storytelling (and the beautiful cinematography, courtesy of Iris Ng). This film is a masterpiece in storytelling. So, for all you doubters out there, and all you fans who have friends who aren’t, we’ve put together this selection of 5 fantastic docs for people who hate docs. And don’t people always say, “Truth is stranger than fiction” or “I couldn’t make this up if I tried?” There’s a reason for that. Whatever genre you like, you can find it in documentary form. There’s this perception among them that documentaries are like spinach – “We know they’re good for us, we know we should consume them, but we’d so much rather have the thriller.”īut here’s the thing – they are thrillers.

I know quite a few people who will eagerly ask for a movie recommendation, only for their eyes to glaze over when I mention a great documentary. But I know that’s not the case for everyone. It will point you to some interesting ones you might not have seen and gives a voice to the makers of this genre, you get to know them a little, see what their opinions are and which thoughts they have about documentaries.If you’re here, it’s likely you already have an affinity for documentary films. If you enjoy watching documentaries then this is one to see. Whether it’s the house of an artist that has passed away, a teenager that is accused of murder, a man that was caught in Vietnam or just the lives of people working a subway station that will be closed down, there are always enough stories to tell. Ap Montreal National Film Board of Canada (NFB) Felix & Paul Studios, the EMMY Award-winning creator of immersive entertainment experiences, in collaboration with the Academy Award-winning National Film Board of Canada, one of the world’s leading digital content hubs, has been selected to premiere their virtual reality experienceGYMNASIAat the 2019 Tribeca Film. Seeing that documentaries don’t make much money they do it because they have a passion about something and explore it. One thing I always respect about documentary filmmakers is that they are willing to spend a lot of time on something which might not get them the thing they are looking for. Capturing Reality shows that a documentary can be anything and that even among directors you see the different opinions different opinions about the same subject. The most well known directors like Werner Herzog and Errol Morris speak, but also other I had never heard of talked about what it took and meant to them.
This documentary really manages to discuss the various processes/steps that are part of documentary filmmaking.
This documentary looks at the process of making a documentary and interviews tons of directors and let’s them talk about how they think about them and what a documentary should be. Others narrate and put their own opinions into it. Some directors make them as “flies on the wall”, just being there and not intervening. A lot of people might think that they, like the title says capture reality and you can’t do much with that, but if you’ve seen your fair share of them you know they each have their distinct styles.
It’s a part of moviemaking that doesn’t seem to get as much love as the big movies, even though more documentaries are made than “normal” movies. Part of my moviewatching is a steady diet of documentaries.
