THE CAMERA THAT CHANGED THE WORLD:
"The Camera That Changed The World" celebrates craftsmen and artists who built and handled the first portable cameras in the summer of 1960. Unfettered by the behemoth equipment that had hampered documentary film making for so long, young camera operators such as D.A. Pennebaker and Richard Leacock were able to trial run a new 'Direct Cinema' approach. Here the two pioneers offer their memories of a new cinematic dawn, which coincided with the emergence of Cinéma Vérité in France.
DON'T LOOK BACK:
D.A. Pennebaker's film of Bob Dylan's 1965 solo acoustic tour, capturing the artist at a key stage in his life.
