A Brief Intro of Cinèma Vérité




Cinèma vérité is the French film movement of the 1960s that showed people in everyday situations with authentic dialogue and naturalness action. The term was originated from one of the newsreel series - “Kino Pravda” by Dziga Vertov. The film Chronicle of a Summer directed by Jean Rouch was regarded as the most representative work of Cinèma Vérité. Rather than following the usual techniques of shooting sound and pictures together, the filmmakers tend to directly intervene in the film itself, trying to provoke the “reality” hidden behind in the passive situation or involving stylised set-ups to highlight the subjects. The concept of Cinèma vérité by Jean Rouch’s words is to create reality starting from fiction which has stronger experimental ideas. Though the development of the pure films of cinèma vérité did not last for a long time and the techniques weren’t not well-recognised, it still makes an important role in feature films and provides other possibilities of portraying reality.
