	Albert and David Maysles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brothers Albert and David Maysles were a documentary filmmaking team whose works include Salesman, Gimme Shelter and Grey Gardens.
		David Maysles (born January 10, 1931, Boston, Massachusetts) died in 1987; Albert Maysles (born November 26, 1926, Boston, Massachusetts), whom Jean-Luc Godard called "the best American cameraman," [1] has continued to make films, with new collaborators.
		He was the subject of a direct-cinema profile documenting his visit by American filmmaker Christopher Seufert and he is also the subject of his own autobiographical documentary, which has yet to be released by Maysles Associates.

	7° Festival Internacional de Cine Independiente
		It is absolutely curious that, in their first steps in the cinema industry, Albert and David Maysles thought that a movie was close to “filmed journalism”, and that, above all, they shared this vision with other filmmakers such as Don Allan Pennebaker and Richard Leacock.
		It 's easy to believe him when Maysles says that in the previous lines there is a clue to understand their cinema: they try to capture something that is not ready or prepared to be filmed yet, knowing that this lack of preparation is the documentary itself, its heart.
		Maysles' great art is the art of finding that exact point where to communicate with their characters, of establishing a state of confidence and accomplicement between them, and extracting the centre of their lives, of their fears and glows.

	Albert Maysles: Grey Gardens - Edinburgh International Film Festival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Bouvier family were perhaps as close as that nation came to royalty, and the combination of aristocracy and madness proved irresistible to the American public, still smarting over what they perceived to be the betrayal of Jackie's marriage to the Greek tycoon.
		Three years later, when the story had cooled somewhat, filmmakers Albert and David Maysles travelled to the estate, known as 'Grey Gardens,' to capture something of the weird, blighted lives of this once-notable mother and daughter; they came away with one of the greatest documentaries ever made.
		In the end, the film is less a celebrity exposé than a kind of love story: a record of the powerful, complex and contradictory relationship between a mother and her daughter.

		This short film, along with Showman (1963), the first Albert and David Maysles collaboration, were catalysts for five decades of powerful and innovative documentary filmmaking.
		By making documentaries in an aleatory manner, the Maysles captured the unpredictability of life on film, providing audiences with the exhilaration of the Rolling Stones in Gimme Shelter (1970), the loss of the American dream in Salesman (1968), and the endearing eccentricities of Grey Gardens (1976).
		In 1987, David Maysles died; following his death, Maysles Films entered a second phase, in which Albert Maysles continued to make compelling films true to the brothers’ original intent, but with a variety of collaborators.

		Of all the great directors of direct cinema, Albert and David Maysles always insisted that it was possible to make purely observational films that would not interfere with reality.
		It is thus a fine irony that one of their best films is precisely the story of a disturbance caused by a camera - in this case, their camera - in the life of two lonely women.
		Isolated in an old, impoverished house, a mother and her daughter gain new life when the Maysles brothers decide to make a film on their relationship.

	NEWCITYCHICAGO.COM: Street Smart Chicago
		Godard called Maysles the best American cameraman, and there are moments in this brilliantly edited masterpiece that take the breath away: an amoral eye, greedy only for a picture of life.
		This is rock; this is dread; this is sex and longing; and "Gimme Shelter" is an exquisite microcosm of ambiguity in an observer's art.
		As with the myriad details of the Altamont Speedway crowd in "Gimme Shelter," Maysles loves discerning details afterward in the miles of footage video allows you to burn through.

		At a time when hand held cameras were not used professionallyand could not record synchronous sound, the Maysles developed techniques to make filmmaking far more mobile.
		They formed a two man crew and followed the salesmen around, an early example of "cinema verite." How the Maysles actually filmed, how they got people to say "yes" to being filmed.
