Joe Berlinger And Bruce Sinofsky
Joe Berlinger (born October 30, 1961) and Bruce Sinofsky (March 31, 1956 – February 21, 2015) were a team of American documentary filmmakers that have won cult fame and critical acclaim. The duo are probably best known for their trilogy of '' Paradise Lost'' films about the so-called West Memphis Three, and for their 2004 Metallica documentary '' Metallica: Some Kind of Monster''. Though they often worked together, Berlinger and Sinofsky also separately directed their own projects. The West Memphis Three Originally intended to be a documentary about "three guilty teenagers on trial for murder", Sinofsky and Berlinger soon decided that their film '' Paradise Lost'' would take a different path. ''Paradise Lost'' chronicles the 1993 murders of three 8-year-old boys, Stephen Branch, Christopher Byers, and Michael Moore in rural Arkansas, and argues that the fear and panic of satanism, along with questionable police work, led to the arrests and convictions of three teenagers, Da ...

Brother's Keeper (1992 Film)
''Brother's Keeper'' is a 1992 documentary directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky. The film is about an alleged 1990 murder in the village of Munnsville, New York. The film is in the " Direct Cinema" style of the Maysles brothers, who had formerly employed Berlinger and Sinofsky. Summary The film contrasts two groups of society: people from rural areas and those from larger cities. It also shows how the media flocked to the town to cover the story. This film displays two completely opposite views of the Ward brothers. One opinion is that of the locals, who defend the Ward brothers as simple country folk. The other is that of the press, who stereotype the brothers as poor, uneducated hill people. The Ward sister was not featured in this film because of her death in the 1980s. However, her daughter Pat makes an appearance in the DVD's special features. Production After its theatrical run, ''Brother's Keeper'' aired on PBS as part of the series ''American Playhouse''.

Paris Is Burning (film)
''Paris Is Burning'' is a 1990 documentary film directed by Jennie Livingston. Filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it. Critics consider the film to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, and a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender, and sexuality in America. In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The title takes its name from the Paris Is Burning ball held annually by artist Paris Dupree who appears in the film. Content The film explores the elaborately-structured ball competitions in which contestants, adhering to a very specific "category" or theme, must "walk", much like a fashion model parades a runway. Contestants are judged on criteria including th ...
