Documentary Quotes

The key fact missed most often by social scientists utilizing documentary films for data, is this: documentary films are not found or reported things; they’re made things Picture Quote #1

Many people in this world do jobs that are dangerous and where their life is at risk and they feel that there is some kind of value to their job I guess that’s how I feel about what I do. There is a social function to documentary photography that is very important and it requires people to take risks Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing attractive about doing a documentary. Nothing. It’s hard, hard work, and I find having all the attention of the day on me a very unattractive proposition Picture Quote #1

The narrator of a documentary often comes in at the last minute and takes some of the glory they don’t deserve Picture Quote #1

So it is that one side effect of the HD revolution has been the gratifying and edifying return of the nature documentary - films about the hugely varied forms of life that eat, sleep, stalk, mate, fight, thrive, suffer and struggle on our dear and embattled old Earth Picture Quote #1

Any documentary; any capturing of a non-fiction event, is a hyper-realistic condensation of reality that hopefully reveals an emotional truth. It’s never the actual literal truth of an event Picture Quote #1

The work of WikiLeaks is with principal documentary evidence; that’s where the truth lies. It gets to the heart of the matter. It educates people and in turn empowers them Picture Quote #1

I think the reality-show format is brilliant, has endless possibilities. It’s documentary! But unfortunately, it’s rarely executed well. So it becomes just a scripted show, but without actors Picture Quote #1

The Look’ is my first documentary, and I enjoyed the freedom of working within a small team Picture Quote #1

What’s great about documentary, it seems to me, is that it can be experimental filmmaking. You have a license to do a lot of diverse things under the umbrella of ‘documentary.’ Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been interested in Vietnam, feel it’s a seminal event in our nation’s history, and have explored it over the years - but I hadn’t been interested in doing a documentary about it. I felt there had been a lot done about Vietnam, and didn’t know if I could add anything new to the discussion Picture Quote #1

Edgar Degas’s famous sculpture, ‘Little Dancer Aged Fourteen,’ served as my muse for ‘The Painted Girls.’ I came upon a television documentary on the work, and as someone who held the sculpture in high esteem and who largely considered ballet to be the high-minded pursuit of privileged young girls, I was struck by what I would learn Picture Quote #1

Sometimes my fashion pictures can look a little bit like documentary style pictures. So having a camera in my hand was normal Picture Quote #1

On telly, there’s been a move towards entertainment - with some very high-powered, fast-moving dramas. Then we have the Internet, where we get our information but it’s all in bite-size pieces. I think the documentary, as a form, actually speaks to what’s missing Picture Quote #1

My feeling is, when you are writing an essay, you don’t make anything up. This may be a very Protestant notion, and I’m aware of the fact that memory is fallible, that if I had access to films or some absolute documentary evidence of what happened, it might look different; we get confused and fuzzy Picture Quote #1

My hat’s off to documentary filmmakers. I don’t know if I’m ever going back to it. You’re treated like a second-class citizen at most film festivals. You take the bus while everybody else is flown first-class. If you’re a feature film director, you’re put in a five-star hotel, and if you’re a documentary director, you stay in a Motel 6 Picture Quote #1

When I graduated from Brown after majoring in women’s studies, I made my first PBS documentary, ‘Women of Substance.’ My first feature documentary was called ‘American Hollow,’ which I did for HBO and was at the Sundance Film Festival Picture Quote #1

I love ‘Robot Chicken,’ ‘The Boondocks’ and ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos.’ Then there’s this show called ‘The First 48.’ It’s a documentary about killings where they try and find murderers. They interrogate people and they tell on each other - it’s hilarious Picture Quote #1

How useful are documentary photographs if there is no follow up, no way of knowing what happened next in the story? Picture Quote #1

It’s funny how it reads like a Kubrick-inspired moment, a filmmaker controlling one’s mise en scÃƒÂ¨ne. What it truly is is a documentary moment Picture Quote #1

As I’ve grown older, the simple pleasure of sitting on the couch with someone you love and watching a documentary is about as good as it gets for me Picture Quote #1

I don’t see how a woman in documentary photography could have children. I think it’s a very difficult thing to do to raise a family, and I have enormous respect for people who do it. I’d hate to do something like that and not be good at it Picture Quote #1

When I was at graduate school in London, I began working at NBC News, which had a thriving documentary unit Picture Quote #1

Fantasy is hard to do when it comes to making it look good compared to something that’s a documentary or hyper-realism Picture Quote #1
