>> I've asked this quite a few times already, but I'm still on the lookout for films that question the concept of truth in documentaries or cinema. So far, I've been able to favor "Megacities" by Michael Glawogger, "David Hotlzman's Diary" by Jim McBride and "The stories we tell" by Sarah Polley. And yes, I've watched F for Fake more than enough ;)

I've been looking into the works of Bazin, Kracauer and Metz and how they have explored the concept of spectatorship and illusion within the realm of photography, film and sometimes theater.
