Capturing Reality is a documentary about documentaries. It’s about the people who make documentaries and the reason they make them. The film also examines the internal philosophies that impact how documentary filmmakers approach their films.
The target audience for Capturing Reality is small. For people interested in documentary films and the process of making documentary films, they will find this film interesting.
Director Pepita Ferrari is to be congratulated for the documentarians she interviewed for this film. They represent some of the very best behind-the-camera talent ever gathered together in one film. Through Ferrari’s interviews, we learn the inspiration and philosophies of some of the finest documentarians to ever pick up a camera. From that perspective, Capturing Reality is very interesting.
Pepita Ferrari's Capturing Reality: The Art of Documentary will certainly appeal to certain predisposed audiences, particularly film nerds and journalists, but her examination of how to tell both a good story and a true story is a timely and compelling work in an age rampant with suspicion of mass media and spin.
