Explain why the idea of "truth" is not necessarily a static concept when it comes to looking at documentary films
How was the direct cinema/cinema verite movement an attempt to combat this issue? To what extent were the filmmakers of the direct cinema movement successful?
Students should mention the idea that no film is free of politics or filmmaker intention in relation to the common expectation that documentary films are "neutral" and intended solely to inform. Regarding direct cinema, students should include ideas such as uncut long takes and attempts to create a "fly-on-the-wall"/"as-it's-happening" appearance and discuss how, despite these aesthetic techniques, no film is free from bias and all the subjects of these films are aware of/effected by the presence of a camera crew.
