"Essay documentary requires from the director to become the ‘main character’ of the film. This does not necessarily mean turning the camera to yourselves or do an autobiographical film. It is about embracing your personal point of view as a filmmaker and a great challenge of making a convincing piece of film. In essence, telling reality as ‘it feels’, rather than as ‘it is'." - Erik Gandini
