> 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 also been getting into dissecting film and theater down to, for lack of better terms, compound elements. 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.
> So anything that would focus on deconstructing truth or incorperate cinema theory. In addition to diaries and essays, I'd also be open to film/video installations/performances that share the same focus.
