“In making documentaries there can't be four protective walls around your set. Your set is the world and you have to look all around before focusing your camera on a corner of it. Even if you wished to keep aloof, life has a way of making your film a part of it.”
Even today, it feels like we need more writing on documentary with this much heart and passion for the practice. A lot of practical advice in here, the building blocks of film school that still apply now. But it’s Joris Ivens’ deep care for the art that shines here.
