" In the turbulent sixties, the provocative French film journal Cahiers du Cinema was at its most influential and controversial.

"Documentary films constitute a major part of film history. Cinema's origins lie, arguably, more in non-fiction than fiction, and documentary represents the other - often submerged and barely visible - 'half' of cinema history.

Over the last two decades, documentary cinema has enjoyed a revival in critic ..."

"The studio system, which had dominated Hollywood for more than half a century, finally fell apart in the late 1960s. The uncertainty that followed opened the way for independent producers, many of whom were already specializing in exploitation movies with titles like Slumber Party Massacre, which were targeted at the 12-to-20-year-old age group. These films, with their starvation budgets and impossible shooting schedules, gave a start t ..."

"Georges. Franju. In many parts of post-war Europe, cinema programming
favoured short films, very often documentaries, rather than feature double bills,
allowing short films to be part of mainstream distribution and exhibition and carry
