Searching for Sugar Man is one the best music documentaries I’ve ever seen. What a great story. Highly recommended!

Searching for Sugar Man is a Swedish-British documentary film directed by Malik Bendjelloul, which details the efforts of two Cape Town fans in the late 1990s, Stephen ‘Sugar’ Segerman and Craig Bartholomew Strydom, to find out whether the rumored death of American musician Sixto Rodriguez was true, and, if not, to discover what had become of him. Rodriguez’s music, which never took off in the United States, had become wildly popular in South Africa, but little was known about him there.

On 10 February 2013, the film won the BAFTA Award for Best Documentary at the 66th British Academy Film Awards in London,^[1] and two weeks later it won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 85th Academy Awards in Hollywood.^[2]

On May 9, 2013, Rodriguez received an honorary doctorate - a Doctor of Humane Letters degree - from his alma mater Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan during WSU’s 10 AM commencement ceremony.

Man with a Movie Camera - The Cinematic Orchestra

Fantastic combination of visuals and music. Loved it!

Man with a Movie Camera is a 2003 soundtrack album by The Cinematic Orchestra, released on 26 May, 2003 on Ninja Tune. The album contains re-workings and thematic reprises of some of the music from their previous album, Every Day, including the track “Man with a Movie Camera” and an instrumental version of “All Things to All Men” entitled “All Things”.

The album comprises the soundtrack to a re-released version of the then ground-breaking 1929 silent documentary film, Man with a Movie Camera from Russian director Dziga Vertov. The Cinematic Orchestra were commissioned to record the score to play as the opening event in Porto, Portugal’s year as European Capital of Culture in 2001.

Exit Through the Gift Shop: A Banksy Film

Exit Through the Gift Shop: A Banksy Film is a film by street artist Banksy that tells the story of Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant in Los Angeles, and his obsession with street art. The film charts Guetta’s constant documenting of his every waking moment on film, from a chance encounter with his cousin, the artist Invader, to his introduction to a host of street artists with a focus on Shepard Fairey and Banksy, whose anonymity is preserved by obscuring his face and altering his voice, to Guetta’s eventual fame as a street artist himself. The film premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival on 24 January 2010. It is narrated by Rhys Ifans. The music is by Geoff Barrow. It includes Richard Hawley’s “Tonight The Streets Are Ours”.^[1] The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 83rd Academy Awards, and broadcast on Channel 4 on 13 August 2011.

There has been debate over whether the documentary is genuine or a mockumentary, although Banksy answers “Yes” when asked if the film is real.
