The Art of Observing Life

Over twenty years, Marina Goldovskaya interviewed influential figures in American documentaries, including Richard Leacock, Robert and Anne Drew, Albert Maysles, D.A. Pennebaker, and Jonas Mekas. These long conversations explore the development of essential titles in the genre's history and the introduction of new light and portable cameras that made Cinema Verite possible.

Goldovskaya's film serves as a unique opportunity to reconnect with the thoughts of these masters, some of whom have passed away. The discussions reflect on the fundamentals and principles of capturing life, showcasing the evolution of documentary filmmaking and its impact on storytelling.
