Mm.

And with Mansky it's also essay films that use archival footage.

Um, and these really rely on, so these are interested in the past and looking back, um, but they rely on a kind of distinction between the context of production, like, in the moment when these images were made, and how we read them very differently in the present.

Um, and then increasingly in the 2000s with the creation of these film schools, with the creation of film festivals, and Mansky is a key figure here, with the creation of Art Doc Fest, you start getting many more figures, um, and again, this kind of formal experimentation which, Sam, as you pointed out, is so reminiscent of the 1920s.

Um, and if we really think about the 1920s moment, I think that what our period shares with the 1920s, um, is this belief that nonfiction cinema is politically consequential, that it's really important, experimentation with form and the idea that form can be political, attention to everyday life, um, and also the idea that cinema can reshape public consciousness.

Um, so there's a lot of connections to both the '20s and the 1960s.

I'm sure Anastasia has more.

Yeah
