The verite documentary movement was a way of separating documentary film technique of new works from the previous era of sound documentaries from the 1930s and 1950s.

Pennebaker’s Don’t Look Back, about Bob Dylan’s concert tour in the United Kingdom, is an incredible work of cinema verite, with its stark realism and matter-of-factness in presentation of these events. Perhaps one of the most perfect examples of the ‘new grammar’ of verite as a filmmaking technique comes ...
