	mocumentary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A mockumentary or mocumentary is a fiction film presented as a documentary film.
		They are usually comedic, often parodic in nature, and are often presented as historical documentaries with b-roll and talking heads discussing past events or as cinema verite pieces following people as they go through various events.
		Big Tuna, mocumentary about Max Tuna Schreiber, who was the first candid camera film-maker in Israel.

	The Delicate Art of Parking - a Movie View review by Ryan Cracknell
		Believability is key to a mocumentary because it's trying to create a sense of reality that although fictional, could exist in the real world outside the film.
		There's the mocumentary about the life of parking attendants, which is the one on the surface.
		And even though the 'filmmakers' make themselves a part of the narrative within the mocumentary, there's still a movie within a movie that's very much aware of itself.

		Several hit movies have subsequently adopted a mocumentary approach, including many films of the eighties and nineties such as This is Spinal Tap, Bob Roberts and the cult horror movie The Blair Witch Project.
		The word jockumentary was coined from a blend of documentary and the North American slang word jock, which from the mid twentieth century has been used to refer to a person who is extremely enthusiastic about and good at sport, especially a young athlete.
		The success of mocumentaries like BBC TV's The Office is largely attributable to the widespread acceptance during recent years of reality TV as a broadcasting genre.

		Second, this film was released to the general New Zealand public without them knowing that this was a mocumentary and they completely felt that it was a real occurrence.
		The great idea behind mocumentaries is that you have the opportunity to create a world from the ground up.
		Finally, I would like to say that the fact that the New Zealand public never realized that it was a mocumentary should already prove the worthiness of this film.

	Cinegeek: All things film, all things geek!
		“Otaku No Video” is a hilarious combo platter of live action “mocumentary” interviews with anime fans and animation that tells the tale of an average person who becomes an otaku or “anime fanatic”.
		Anime fans or fanatical fans of any genre will recognize themselves in the characters in the animated segments and in the live action mocumentary interview segments “Portrait of an Otaku”.
		There is grain present in the “Portrait of an Otaku” segments but it is intentional and is meant to give these “mocumentary” segments a more authentic home video feel.

	'Mail order' fun - Independent Collegian - Arts & Life
		Following Adrian Martinez on his quest to arrange a mail-order bride and the perils that follow, things become complicated as Martinez begins to abuse his randomly selected bride Lichi (Eugenina Yuan), and the film's co-director Andrew Gurland becomes personally involved.
		The acting, though, is completely believable, and, if not for a few moments, the line between documentary and mocumentary would have been completely blurred.
		Critic's Conclusion: A mildly amusing "mocumentary" about ordering a wife from overseas, this twisted film wins points for originality, even if it borders more on occasionally intriguing than downright hilarious.

		Well, take away the chips and it’s really just a mocumentary, but a mocumentary on a grand scale.
		Now although this isn’t as great a mocumentary as “Best in Show” or “A Mighty Wind”, it’s defiantly a contender.
		Factoid: one good mocumentary is worth at least 500 bad films.

	Interview with the Assassin - AGGRESSIVE-VOICE.COM
		Before I go any further, let me tell you that "Interview with the Assassin" is a mocumentary; a fictional documentary designed look real.
		JFK theory buffs may or may not appreciate "Interview with the Assassin," because outside of the actual on-location filming, nothing about the movie is real.
		I played along though, and I enjoyed the movie until the end, where I was blatantly reminded that the film is only a mocumentary, and I was slapped in the face for it.

		It also seems to be a broken link.

		Word Wars is the story of four elite, and wildly eccentric, Scrabble players on the hunt for a $25,000 grand prize at the National Scrabble Championships.
		This film is fantastic, and is perhaps the funniest mocumentary ever made—certainly on par with Best In Show, A Mighty Wind and even This is Spinal Tap.
		The only hitch is that Word Wars is a real documentary.

		The Importance of Being Earnest (after years of winking and nudging)
		On the landscape of insincerity, where skepticism is the presupposition, where corporations have co-opted and subverted the notion of mocumentary in an attempt to sell the products and posturing often parodied by the mocumentary, Ben Folds Five used to be a pace-setter.
		What allowed the Chapel Hill trio to continue doing what they’ve done was a vitriol and candor equally directed among institutions the group detested, individuals the group detested, and (most importantly) the group itself.
