My Take

Morgan Neville is, to my mind, one of the great empathetic listeners working in nonfiction film. Winning the 2014 Academy Award for 20 Feet from Stardom, a film devoted to the backup singers history overlooked, tells you everything about his instincts: he points the camera at the people standing just outside the spotlight. That generosity of attention is rare and, I think, the hardest thing to teach. He does not merely assemble facts; he excavates dignity. As long as filmmakers like Neville keep choosing overlooked subjects over obvious ones, documentary remains a vital, humane art form.
