Abstract
This paper focuses on the 1960's shift in Documentary film towards direct cinema and cinéma vérité. Jim McBride's David Holzman's Diary (1967), Frederick Wiseman's High School (1968), Orson Welles' F for Fake (1973), and Michael Moore's Roger and Me (1989) are films that this paper examines in relation to the 1960's film movements tendency towards revealing objective truth. In addition these films will be used to explore the impression of authenticity inside art, and the responsibility of a filmmaker to his/her audience.
