THE MAYSLES & CO.
Through Thursday, April 21
“Remember, as a documentarian you are an observer, an author but not a director, a discoverer, not a controller.” – Albert Maysles.
For sixty years, Albert (1926-2015) and David (1931-1987) Maysles, and their collaborators (among them Susan Froemke, Charlotte Zwerin, Ellen Hovde, Deborah Dickson, et al.), epitomized “Direct Cinema” (their own term for cinéma vérité, or “fly-on-the-wall” moviemaking) to international critical acclaim, and iconic success.
