Four Maysles Films
Albert Maysles, documentary filmmaker and photographer

Albert Maysles, who has been called the “Dean of Documentary” by The New York Times, has been making films for over 50 years. His core philosophy is that only by illuminating the real world can we understand each other and bridge our differences. Documenting experience is Maysles’s way of making the world a better place. In this lecture, he discusses and shares excerpts of four of his nonfiction films (three of which are on Documentary magazine’s 25 Best Documentaries list), Salesman, Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter, and Lalee’s Kin.
