Kino-Eye Man with a Movie Camera (Dizga Vertov, 1929) (Vertov, 1896-1954) “Life caught unaware”

Cinéma Vérité • AKA Direct Cinema • Documentary filmmaking style that began in the 1950s/early 1960s Technologically inspired—by the advent of lightweight portable cameras and sync-sound equipment to capture events as they happen on location, without a script • Inspirations: Lumiere Brothers, Vertov, Neo-Realism, Free Cinema • Key Americans: D.A. Pennebaker, Albert and David Maysles, and Richard Leacock

Cinéma Vérité • Direct vs. Vérité: “According to Erik Barnouw (Documentary): • direct cinema: “hopes to find a crisis while shooting”; cinéma vérité: “wishes to precipitate one” • Direct cinema: “an invisible observer” (Leacock’s "the fly on the wall"); cinéma vérité:“an unabashed participant” • For both: filming events as they transpire leads to what Rouch has called a "privileged moment," in which a truth about the subject of the film is revealed. To what extent the presence of the camera affects the real-life situation, and thus compromises this truth, has been a hotly debated issue. • --Thanks to Baseline Encyclopedia ofFilm

Free Cinema • Documentary film movement originating in England, 1956-1959 • Spawned by the journal Sequence. • Founders: Lindsay Anderson, Karel Reisz, Tony Richardson, Anderson’s motto: "No Film Can Be Too Personal.” • Governing principles: • Freedom of propaganda • Obliviousness to box office appeal. • Embrace of the filmmaker’s freedom • Ordinary people and everydayness—the primary focus • “The image speaks. Sound amplifies and comments.” • “Size is irrelevant.” • “Perfection is not an aim.” • “An attitude means a style. A style means an attitude.”
