	Academy Award for Documentary Feature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Award for Best Documentary is the most plagued and controversial award of the Academies.
		Whether the new rules are successful is still debated, since 2005's Grizzly Man—a documentary strong enough to appear on many critics top 10 lists—wasn't nominated, and didn't even make their internally distributed top 15 list.
		Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, at the time the highest grossing documentary film, was famously ineligable because Moore has opted to have it played on television prior to the 2004 Election.

	Hôtel Terminus (1988) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Shots of landscapes, short sequences of documentary footage and excerpts of local folkloric or popular tunes are cleverly inserted into that texture and give the statements additional emotional weight.
		The most striking result of Hôtel Terminus is that it shows the brutal banality of terror in a totalitarian regime.
		The message of Hôtel Terminus is, as I see it, that only the complicity or the indifference of the "general public" made Barbie's career and the atrocities he was capable of possible.

		But, while some documentaries had been made by commercial outfits like The Shell Film Unit, established by Edgar Anstey in 1934, from 1947 onwards a large number of companies new to the genre started to produce documentaries.
		During the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s, pioneering and hard-hitting BBC radio documentaries set the tone and form for the emergence of tougher broadcast film documentaries.
		Documentaries got a tabloid nickname – Fly-on-the-Wall - first used to describe the New Cinema documentaries in the 1950s.

		To be constructed in 20.45 acres of land at a cost of Rs 12 crore, the terminus fulfils one of the suggestions of the committee of experts constituted for implementing the Mass Rapid Transport System in the city besides developing infrastructure for the second city centre to come up in this sector.
		Elaborating on the design of the terminus, he said contrary to the practice of parking buses perpendicular to the building, which provided little protection to the bus and the passengers, the buses would now be parked parallel to the building providing shelter and protection to both.
		The documentary will be telecast on the Punjabi Channel on November 4 and 5 at 8.30 a.m., Govardhan Gabbi, director, said while talking to mediapersons.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Hotel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		While this may seem an overworked subject to some, and though Ophuls' latest film admittedly never reaches the emotional zenith of Claude Lanzmann's remarkable "Shoah," "Hotel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie" is still a worthy achievement and especially in the second half becomes quite gripping.
		Without the shock newsreel footage we often associate with Holocaust documentaries, Ophuls shares the screen with those he interviews to show the detective process he went through in securing some of the interviews, as well as his interrogation techniques, which lends a depth of understanding to his motivations.
		This may not be the mammoth classic Ophuls intended, but "Hotel Terminus" is nonetheless a worthy companion piece to "Shoah" and Ophuls' own earlier films.

		“Terminus,” adapted by founding company members Julian McFaul and John F. Bueche from Stanislaw Lem’s “Tales of Pilot Pirx” is nothing if not a daring stab at the avant garde.
		Ultimately, Bedlam’s “Terminus” is an existential foray solidly distinct as such fare as launched George Bartenief’s and Crystal Fields’ legendary Theater for the New City in Manhattan’s vaunted Lower East Side.
		In a particularly self-reflexive scene toward the end of “Storytelling,” the documentary filmmaker runs up to Scooby after a tragedy occurs that he may feel indirectly responsible for.

	PBS - Harriman: Kristine Crossen - Alaska's Glaciers
		Terminus of Barry Glacier in 1899 near Point Doran, showing the ice caves where englacial streams exited the ice (Photo by C. Hart Merriam).
		This glacier acted as a natural laboratory when it began its catastrophic retreat in the 1970's, and taught glaciologists that the depth of water at the ice terminus was the strongest forcing factor affecting the dynamics of tidewater glaciers.
		Iceberg calving rate and thus retreat rate were directly tied to the water depth, as deep water caused more ice to come afloat and calve away., thus causing increased retreat.

	H-Net Multimedia Reviews: Neal R. McCrillis on Hotel Terminus
		Documentary producers usually operate on the premise that historical actors and documents are "facts" which need little mediation or interpretation.
		At the center of this film is Barbie, the infamous "butcher of Lyon." Yet the young Barbie is described by inhabitants of his hometown and classmates as the son a schoolteacher and an upright Catholic boy.
		At the Hotel Terminus Lagrange remembers seeing a man with "a friendly smile" who held a cat; this, she later learned, was Klaus Barbie.

		During the inter-war period a considerable number of documentary films were also made dealing with social and political issues.
		The documentary film has played an important role both in influencing British film culture, and in allowing critical, often oppositional voices to find expression within the public sphere.
		Similarly, the documentary film has been used as a means of disseminating alternative political ideas from the 1930s to the present.

		If this were to be the case then one could easily question the absence of The Elephant Will Never Forget, Terminus, Farmer Moving South and anything by Geoffrey Jones or debate the lack of personal favourites (I’ve always had a soft spot for Giant Load, for example).
		Terminus was released by DDHE last month, so it looks like the rights are not held by the BFI.
		Terminus is indeed superb, and would make an ideal partner to this BFI release.

		Looking at the terminus of Harriman Glacier from a Zodiac, the tortured ice is nearing the end of its journey down the valley to the sea.
		This particular area is undermined by an under-ice river that, together with the effects of gravity and tidal forces at the terminus, finally shatter the glacier after its journey from the mountains.

		This unique, engaging, and perceptive documentary will stimulate discussion in a variety of classes in women's and gender studies, multicultural studies, cultural anthropology, sociology, and psychology, and especially in any class dealing with memory, intergenerational transmission of individual and collective trauma, biculturalism, and simultaneous constructions of gender, race, and ethnicity.

	Marcel Ophuls (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This monumental documentary, a profoundly moving indictment of collaboration, uses interviews and Nazi newsreel footage to chronicle events in occupied France, focusing on the town of Clermont-Ferrand.
		While continuing to produce historical documentaries for television and theaters on subjects ranging from the My Lai massacre to the Nuremberg war crimes trials and the civil war in Northern Ireland, Ophuls also pursued acting and writing for magazines such as American Film and Positif and served on the board of the French Filmmakers' Society.
		HOTEL TERMINUS (1988) takes as its subject the wartime activities of Klaus Barbie and the forty-year search for this Nazi collaborator known as the "Butcher of Lyon." In the process, Ophuls' film exposes the governmental collusion that allowed this man to remain hidden until 1983, when he was finally brought to trial.

	Documentarist alloes subject's violence to taint his work
		His favorite warning to hesitant interviewees is a shouted reminder that "I've shot at the Emperor!" Needless to say, this threat has staggering implications in a culture that once worshiped the Emperor as a god and still considers any criticism of the Emperor as taboo.
		This one little fact immediately throws a monkey wrench into the whole documentary process, since one can never be sure just who is exploiting whom.
		That is, ultimately, the main reason why it is so fascinating to watch this film: its trek to the brink of self-destruction is as cheerful as it is inexorable.

	While the Academy Slept
		To the academy, documentary is less a popular art form than a public service medium: Over the past decade, the films nominated, with a few honorable exceptions, have been the cinematic equivalent of castor oil.
		In other words, the struggle over the documentary Oscar is a cultural struggle over documentary itself: between what some call the academy's "cultural commissars," who dictate the definition of a "good" documentary, and a diverse documentary filmmaking community that has challenged the selection committee's conservative aesthetic values.
		The War Tapes, a documentary shot by US soldiers and sanctioned by the military, may turn out to be the most powerful statement against the war to date.

	DVD Times - The Sorrow and the Pity
		Ophuls has continued to make epic-length documentaries since (The Memory of Justice and.Hotel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie among them) and his influence is clearly felt in Claude Lanzmann’s nine-and-a-half-hour investigation into the Holocaust, Shoah.
		This DVD, being a documentary, is exempt from classification, but I would suggest that anyone with young children should take that certificate seriously, although I doubt that many youngsters would sit through a film like this in the first place.
		For that reason, this documentary and others like it are important and should be seen in case we forget about those darkest days in the middle of the last century.

		As a documentary for the general public, however, it may be a bit tedious at five hours long.
		To be frank, Ophuls's documentary style is often annoying.
		Some of his interview styles seem to be based on the worst aspects of Mike Wallace and "Sixty Minutes," where he spends more time showing himself being hassled than concentrating on the subject he's interviewing.
