Directors: Kirby Dick, Amy Zierin- Film-makers are expects on Derrida
"Everything is false... i'm not really like this..." - usually wears his robe and will not get dressed all day, in the film he is dressed in a shirt and smart trousers.
"This is what you call Cinéma vérité" - Meta-cinematic scenes
Asking audience...
"Is it that I am both part of the spectacle and audience"
"Eyes and Hands" = Signs
Not interviews/ No talking heads
Talking to film makers
Flows like a conversation
Constantly plays with his theories and life
Derrida watches film back with film maker, talks to film makers about love and asks filmmakers questions.
- Chanan- "playful documentray" he is aware of the processes- playing with the film maker- interacts with the film-maker
- DECONSTRUCTION- limits of biographical film-making. According to Derrida nothing is natural everything is constructed
B. Nichols "Process of negotiation between film-makers and viewer become the focus of attention"..."draws attention to our assumptions and expectations about documentary form itself" (EG. Derrida asks documentarian questions)- Structural critique of documentary itself. A reconstruction of truth not the truth/ a construct of representation.
