Every year since 1942, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, an honorary organization in the film industry, presents the top award to one documentary film. Throughout the years, films depict a pictorial yet honorable timeline which follows United States military background to international humanitarianism to back to our own soils of war in 2001 to the economic crisis.
I find value and honor in the history and issues that these films tell with their stories written by documentary filmmakers who are directly or indirectly involved in the subject matter. I believe the truth is written and threaded through the people. The images and audio sounds lay the lines where you can follow and take the necessary steps to align ourselves what has happen, what will happen, and what is occurring at the moment.
I learned through my father the importance of histories in terms of industry, geography, economical purposes, and building structures in my hometown of Tacoma, Washington. I find the camera in most important matter as my mother faced the world with a lens whether I was the model for a photo or relying information or joke for the moment through a video recorder.
Films made by these awarded filmmakers was stating their moments as I will state my moment as I going through the timeline of viewing the first awarded documentary film and reflecting my emotions and thoughts. I will make my own film on "web" paper by the films themselves as I deepen the negatives and positives of one's interpretation and storytelling. The goal of completing the view on all the documentary films awarded by the Academy has been long-winded in the past few years. Now, the time has come for me to complete this quest. May I say, "Peruse with pursuit." Now, the beginning begins again.
