Observational Cinema and the Art of Cinema Verite

Both observational cinema and cinema verité have made a significant impact on documentary filmmaking, offering two distinct pathways to explore truth and reality. Observational cinema seeks to capture life as it unfolds without interference, cinema verité engages with its subjects to provoke a deeper, more dynamic truth. Join us on Thursday, October 3, 2024 for Observational Cinema and the Art of Cinema Verite as Ife Olatunji, visual anthropologist and documentary filmmaker discusses and shares examples of these rich traditions of innovative and reflective approaches to non-fiction filmmaking, each offering unique insights into the complexities of human experience.
