The ‘documentary business’ as we know it today is primarily about new and current docs and Film Platform offers you the best of these new documentaries. But there has always been also interest in docs that have become over the years the ‘classic docs’. Some of them were made many years ago sometimes on 16mm and in black & white and are today considered classics: these are films made by the documentary pioneers like Drew, The Maysles and Leacock. But there are also films that are not that old..from the 80’s, 90’s and even from the 2000’s..films that because of very wide exposure and appreciation over these many years have become ‘classics’. I mention a few: The Times of Harvey Milk, Christian Frei’s War Photographer and the groundbreaking Crumb by Terry Zwigoff.
