Directors have been turning their cameras on the world since the time of the Lumière brothers — and documentary filmmaking has sparked impassioned creative debate ever since.

Some of todays most influential documentary filmmakers reflect upon its unique power in Capturing Reality: The Art of Documentary. Over 30 luminaries — including Albert Maysles, Errol Morris, Alanis Obomsawin, Michel Brault, Nick Broomfield, Kim Longinotto and that great iconoclast Werner Herzog — offer insight into their craft while reflecting on the nature of representation and the continually contested status of the truth.

Where do directors get their ideas for documentary films? Can film capture reality? What ethical issues arise when portraying real lives? How does editing or music condition our emotional response to film? More than 100 documentary clips enliven the discussion, offering a panoramic overview of contemporary documentary filmmaking, from Grey Gardens and The Thin Blue Line to The Day I Will Never Forget and Darwins Nightmare.
