[Frameworks] Films that question truth

[Janis Crystal Lipzin]

You might be interested in my film, Cracks Between the Stones, which asks viewers to reconsider and question expert speculation about past history as the architectural remains of earlier cultures are interpreted.       The sound was constructed from various sources including a conversation with a Texas archaeologist, Navajo radio broadcasts, and slide lecture by a Park Ranger at Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado, appropriated in such a way as to disarm the authoritative voice of the narrator in conventional documentary films.  
It's streaming on www.fandor.com.  If you're not a fandor subscriber, and are interested, please contact me for information on previewing this film.

Recently I rewatched Man with a Move Camera (1929) and Megacities (1998) and both seemed to be examples of how the camera, or camera man, can alter the definition of truth in documentaries, that claim to present subject matter as truth. I know this is a vague set up and the topic of "truth" could be elaborated on for hours and hours. But. I'm just looking for films, docs and essays, that theorize the idea of truth and play with the audience's expectation. I've already been given F for Fake, David Holzman's Diary and Bleu Shut as examples from my last email. Is there any more out there?
