Robert Flaherty

Robert Flaherty

is called the Father of Documentary Cinematography. Flaherty was the great story letter and traveler. His every new film was a discovery for the audience and for himself. In 1910, after Flaherty had graduated from the College and the Mining School, he took part in the expedition in order to find oil. Later on he took several more expeditions like that. Flaherty kept a diary and once took camera with him. In the country of Canadian escimoses he had shot a unique material which unfortunately, was lost. But Flaherty understood, that he must go on and shoot the film about the North. This is how everything started.
