They recount a personal history of \u003ci\u003ecinéma verité\u003c\/i\u003e and modern documentary filmmaking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The prolific joint career of the brothers defined documentary filmmaking in the United States. From their first films in the late 1950s until the last films of Albert Maysles (b. 1926-2015), the brothers' pioneering development of the \"direct cinema,\" or \u003ci\u003ecinéma vérité\u003c\/i\u003e, style of documentary filmmaking significantly altered the ways in which the world appears in nonfiction representations. Their influential movies--including the early feature \u003ci\u003eSalesman\u003c\/i\u003e, the renowned foundational rock concert film \u003ci\u003eGimme Shelter\u003c\/i\u003e, and the dual biography \u003ci\u003eGrey Gardens\u003c\/i\u003e--affected the aesthetics of fiction filmmaking as well. After the death of David Maysles (1931-1987), Albert Maysles continued to make films and contributed to the development of the documentary form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Beattie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1604733659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781604733655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.06w x 0.60d","brand":"Keith Beattie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47244191269119,"sku":"9781604733655","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ecc4bb1-d858-466a-b322-1c87b0f48e20.jpg?v=1758135145","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/albert-and-david-maysles-keith-beattie-9781604733655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
