Cinema Verite: Defining the Moments
In Cinéma Vérité: Defining the Moment, director Peter Wintonick (codirector of the 1992 documentary classic Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media) pays loving homage to the men and women who pioneered and perfected cinéma vérité. The film takes an approach that’s at once light-hearted and incisive, interviewing a dizzying array of creators of documentary and fleshing out the history with a rich selection of clips that cover a wide geographic and stylistic range.
