The camera is a trap for fragile reality
The documentary form has existed longer than narrative film — and it has never stopped innovating. Local stories intersect with grand, worldwide phenomena. The beautifully typical lives beside stories of outrageous fortune. Something as simple as the humble cow can inspire cinematic exploration just as easily as an expressionistic voyage into the world of spices. Names you already know appear alongside those you should know. Stories of music, art, terror, and the pursuit of justice share equal billing, resulting in an unbelievably real view of the unbelievable world we move through every day.
