		But more importantly, it was the introduction of television in the late 1940s with its need for immediate coverage of the news and the demand for content that spurred the movement in the 1950s and early 1960s.
		The movement, known as cinema-verite in France and Canada and direct cinema in America, grew spontaneously, with an emphasis on the "filmmaker" over the director and glorified the function of the cameraman as an immediate link between the camera and the subject.
		Verite came about swiftly as the demands of television-which provided the market-could mobilize the different equipment and sound gear to serve its needs.

		Drew is generally considered the father of the direct cinema style, a form he helped pioneer as the founder of film group Drew Associates.
		Drew began his career as a journalist for LIFE magazine, but turned to filmmaking in the late 1950s when he came to the conclusion that lightweight 16mm cameras with synchronized sound would be much more adept at capturing breaking news events than the lead-heavy tripod monsters in use at the time.

		Cinema vérité is a French phrase meaning, literally "film truth".
		The term comes from the literal translation of Dziga Vertov's Kino-Pravda series and the intentions behind it: to use film as a means of getting at "hidden" truth.

	Jean Rouch: Cinéma-vérité, Chronicle of a Summer and The Human Pyramid
		The answer of 'direct cinema', which included Richard Leacock, Donn A. Pennebaker and the Maysles brothers as its representatives, was a purist approach in which the impact of the observer on the observed had to be kept to a minimum.
		I look at the human sciences as poetic sciences in which there is no objectivity, and I see film as not being objective, and cinema verite as a cinema of lies that depends on the art of telling yourself lies.
		Traditionally, the ethnographic film is considered to be the polar opposite of 'art cinema', and while it would be unproblematic to say that Rouch's work simply compresses the two categories, ethnographic film and art cinema, his work presents so many layers of meaning so intimately entwined that such simplifications are impossible.

	Films take a cinema vérité look at life in '60s America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The term "cinema vérité" -- or direct cinema -- was coined in the '60s to refer to the explosion of socially and politically concerned, low-budget documentary filmmaking made possible by the decade's new mobile camera and recording systems.
		In later decades, cinema vérité would lose much of its idealistic glow when it was revealed that more than a few of its practitioners were actually staging events, scripting scenes and rehearsing actors.
		Beginning today, the Grand Illusion in the University District begins a two-week celebration of this prototypically '60s genre: "Direct Cinema: Documenting the '60s," which manages to include 10 of the best-remembered titles (about half of which are not currently on video).

		Robert Flaherty's "Nanook of the North" (1922) is also often seen as an ancestor to cinéma vérité, in that it was a partially scripted film that used the techniques of documentary filmmaking.
		The aesthetic of the movement, which began in the 1950s and flourished in the 1960s was essentially the same as that of the mid-1950s "free cinema" in the UK and the "direct cinema" movement in the United States and Quebec.
		Borrowing techniques from documentary film (but eschewing the use of voiceovers) cinéma vérite aims for an extreme naturalism, using non-professional actors, nonintrusive filming techniques, frequent use of hand-held camera, the use of genuine locations rather than sound stages, and naturalistic sound without post-production.

	DVD Verdict: Cinema Vérité, Part 2
		The assumption that cinema vérité captures a true picture of reality has played a great role in the appropriation of vérité techniques by filmmakers interested in giving their fictions a sense of "truth." Sometimes the transition from fact to fiction is easy.
		This is the real truth behind cinema vérité: the camera may be objective, but the minds behind it and the minds who observe its products are not.
		The camera produces cinema, and cinema is merely another language that we try to use to understand an uncertain world.

	Review of Cinema Verite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Cinema Verite honors these documentary filmmakers and their films, as it traces the history of this genre from its beginnings in the 1950s with its links to journalism, its focus on daily life experiences and its ability to capture emotion, to its ironic transformation in The Blair Witch Project and reality TV.
		In the spirit of cinema verite itself, Wintonick doesn’t evaluate, analyze or judge the evolving genre; rather, in a fairly chronological format, his film allows interviews with the pioneering filmmakers and a host of clips from the groundbreaking films to tell the story of the last half century of documentary films.
		By the 1990s Jennifer Fox articulates her problem with pure verite, saying personal interviews are important to allow for psychology and motivation.
