This wide-ranging and insightful collection of interviews with D.
A. Pennebaker (b. 1925) spans the prolific career of this pioneer
of observational cinema. From the 1950s to the present day, D. A.
Pennebaker has made documentary films that have revealed the world
of politics, celebrity culture, and the music industry. Following
his early collaborations with Robert Drew on a number of works for
television, his feature-length portrait of Bob Dylan on tour in
England in 1965 (the landmark film Dont Look Back) established
so-called direct cinema as a form capable of achieving broad
theatrical release. With Monterey Pop, Pennebaker inaugurated the
popular mode of rock concert film (or ""rockumentary""), a style of
filmmaking he has expanded on through a number of films, including
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and Depeche Mode: 101.
Pennebaker has always regarded collaboration as an integral part of
his filmmaking methods. His long-running collaboration with Richard
Leacock and subsequently his work with Chris Hegedus have enriched
his approach and, in the process, have instituted collaboration as
a working practice integral to American direct cinema. His other
collaborations, particularly those with Jean-Luc Godard and Norman
Mailer, resulted in innovative combinations of observational
techniques and fictional aesthetics. Such films as The War Room,
which was about the 1992 Democratic primaries and was nominated for
an Academy Award, and the 2009 Kings of Pastry continue to explore
the capacities of observational documentary. In 2012 Pennebaker was
the first documentary filmmaker to be awarded an Academy Honorary
Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
