He did this by assembling an amazing team—including such eventual nonfiction luminaries as Richard Leacock, D. A. Pennebaker, and Albert Maysles—that would transform documentary cinema. In 1960, the group was granted direct access to John F. Kennedy, filming him on the campaign trail and eventually in the Oval Office. This resulted in three films of remarkable, behind-closed-doors intimacy—\u003ci\u003ePrimary, Adventures on the New Frontier,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCrisis\u003c\/i\u003e—and, following the president’s assassination, the poetic short \u003ci\u003eFaces of November.\u003c\/i\u003e Collected here are all four of these titles, early exemplars of the movement known as Direct Cinema and featuring the greatest close-up footage we have of this American icon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinema Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41779899072597,"sku":"CC2612DDVD","price":24.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3032\/6613\/files\/808_dvd_jxbp96uhcmyh7oyy.jpg?v=1764618621","url":"https:\/\/cinemacellar.com\/products\/kennedy-films-of-robert-drew-the-dvd","provider":"Cinema Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
