Lefties Capture Olympics!
That must have been the reaction of the hysterical right in the US and UK when they saw Director Danny Boyle’s opening ceremony for London 2012. Shock for them, awe for the rest of us.

Documentary, Cinema Verite and Direct Cinema. a Quick Diary Entry ..
Cinema Truth. It seems this week’s topic is very much en vogue at the moment with so many so called “Truth Films” doing the rounds in many independent cinemas and the download torrents of the internet. Michael Moore, Alex Jones and Mark Achbar attacking the major corporations and plutocracy of the Unisted States of America. Having watched many of these films and alot of documentary passively over the last ten years there’s a few things and conventions i’ve come to expect. Watching the Cinema Verite: Defining the Moment documentary on Wednesday morning was very interesting to see the development of the form and, moreso, the thoughts ten years ago on the future of documentary. Thus highlighting the fact that documentary is a constantly evolving form of film making not tied to a specific time period, just films over time that attempt to document what is "real" or what is "true". As Grierson says "the creative treatment of actuality".
