Hello,
All documentaries are constructed in some way to force a narrative. And they are certainly told from the pov which makes for entertainment. I'm not a fan of filmmakers getting their subject to meet their long lost parent just for the purpose of narrative. Those are stories forced by the filmmakers and not the subject.
Even the Up series had subjects dropping out because they felt the way they were portraid was not their true selves.

Most documentaries “play with truth,” in some manner.

Hello all.
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.

For the past few months, a major Experimental Film Society project has been brewing, a feature film called Minotaur. It is the poetic debut feature by Zulfikar Filandra, a uniquely unconventional and engagingly personal film dealing with youth, sex, love, family, friendships and the passage of time.
Minotaur is being co-produced by Experimental Film Society (EFS), Dublin and Kolumbija, Sarajevo. Rouzbeh Rashidi, head of EFS, is co-producing and also brings his overall filmmaking expertise and twenty years of experience to the project as a technical consultant.
We've launched an Indiegogo campaign to finance it. Please read the full story here:
https://igg.me/at/minotaurproject
If any of this sounds of interest, please consider contributing - there are some great perks and rewards with this campaign! Even a small donation will help. And even if you can't contribute, please help us get the word out by sharing on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
If you have any questions or queries at all, or would like to make a donation directly to us, please drop us a line at experimentalfilmsociety@gmail.com, and thank you for the support.--There are a plethora of doc films that engage strategies that do this, but the writings of Bill Nichols and Stella Bruzzi on performative doc are really important for this discussion.Check out New Documentary (latest edition) by Stella Bruzzi.On Thu, Jun 6, 2019 at 6:13 PM Morgan Hoyle-Combs <mhoylecombs@yahoo.com> wrote:Hello all.

I think he draws attention to the word "representation."Once you have framed everything under an analysis of that term, I think it's going to be hard to drop the camera or leave the cinema. And truth? Shall we conceive of it as an accurate representation to begin with?BernieOn Fri, Jun 7, 2019 at 9:50 AM Samirah Alkassim <deristea@gmail.com> wrote:There are a plethora of doc films that engage strategies that do this, but the writings of Bill Nichols and Stella Bruzzi on performative doc are really important for this discussion.Check out New Documentary (latest edition) by Stella Bruzzi._______________________________________________On Thu, Jun 6, 2019 at 6:13 PM Morgan Hoyle-Combs <mhoylecombs@yahoo.com> wrote:Hello all.
