A Camera That Goes Anywhere
0.0/10
Overview
A CAMERA THAT GOES ANYWHERE, directed by Jane Weiner, reveals the untold story of how five visionary filmmakers—Richard Leacock, D.A. Pennebaker, Robert Drew, Terence Macartney-Filgate, and Albert Maysles—came together in the late 1950s to create a revolutionary "new cinema language" that would transform documentary filmmaking forever. The film traces their groundbreaking collaboration on "PRIMARY" (1960), which captured the Wisconsin Democratic primary battle between John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey using innovative handheld cameras synchronized with portable sound recorders. Their five-day shoot launched American cinéma vérité, but the journey from conception to recognition was far from smooth—initially rejected by American networks, the film found acclaim in France through Henri Langlois at the Cinémathèque française.
