Cinéma vérité defining the moment /

"The cinéma vérité (or direct cinema) movement of the '50s and '60s was driven by a group of rebel filmmakers tired of stilted documentaries. They wanted to show life as it really is: raw, gritty, dramatic. Rich in excerpts from vérité classics ... this is the first film to capture all the excitement of a revolution that changed movie-making forever"--Container. Includes commentary by filmmakers, and explores vérité's influence in everything from TV news to music videos to Webcams.

Icewarrior

This film is part nature film, part existential poem projected onto one of history's most impressive survivors, the archaic musk ox. The filmmaker patiently waited some miles from the North Pole, on Ellesmere island, to film the inevitable battle between two muskoxen in quest of the same territory. Learn of the life cycle of this legendary beast, the weaning of calves, their games, the mock battles, the rut.
