The Documentary Group

Trailer for Capturing Reality: The Art of Documentary - ” Errol Morris, Werner Herzog and over 30 of today’s top documentary filmmakers provide an in-depth look at non-fiction filmmaking and the steps to making a documentary. These masters of the craft reflect upon the nature of documentary as a form of storytelling and offer insight into their approach to the ‘truth.’ “

Plus 163 clips with filmmakers featured in the film here. You can search the clips by topic or filmmaker using the tabs at the bottom of the page. There are also links to an education guide and Director Q and A. Can’t deeplink because the interface is flash.

The DVD is available on Amazon.

Looks really good.
