Random Documentary Picks

Way of Nature by Nina Hedenius (2008) - one year in the life of a Swedish farmer. Amazing photography and detail, no narrative.

Pretty Dyana by Boris Mitic (2003) - enters the "carton suburbs" of Belgrade populated by Roma, who have opened up a sector of economy for themselves. They are the ones who take care of recycling in Serbia, as there is no centralized system and have invented a new form of vehicle for this purpose, resembling an agricultural machine, by remodeling the old Citroën Dyane, the last of which was produced in 1983. You can watch the full video here.

Pianomania by Robert Cibis and Lilian Franck (2009) - follows the life of a German piano tuner, shedding light to the peculiar search for the right pitch of some of today's most renowned pianists. Definitely uncovered a new world to me.
