Cinema Verité is a documentary filmmaking style that emerged in the 1960s, emphasizing a realistic and unobtrusive approach to storytelling. It aims to capture real-life events and situations as they unfold, often using handheld cameras and natural lighting to create an authentic atmosphere. This style encourages spontaneity and aims to reveal the truth of human experience. The term translates to "truthful cinema" and is closely associated with the French New Wave movement. Filmmakers like Jean Rouch and Alain Resnais were pioneers of this technique, focusing on the interaction between the filmmaker and the subjects, which adds depth to the narrative.
