Cinéma Vérité
Cinéma vérité was born in the 1960s with Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin: the camera leaves the studio, steps into the middle of life and tries to capture it as it happens. It does not observe from afar, it intervenes, provokes, lets itself be involved, convinced that truth emerges exactly when someone knows they are being watched.
Here you will find a selection of films to stream that carry on this legacy. They are independent works that deal with real people, real places and an idea of light cinema, where direction and reality blend until they cannot be told apart.
It is a cinema for those who look for authenticity and risk, more interested in a spontaneous gesture than in a perfect scene. A small but radical selection, to look at reality with different eyes.
