Oh no, I mean, the great american tradition (ugh) of making movies is entirely based on telling a "story", but the audiovisual medium of time sculpting that is cinema is so much more. I'm playing on words, but it annoys me to no end that cinema is a limited thing and only entertainment in the heads of so many. Of course it only exists in our industrial times and is strongly linked to them, and it hardly thrives outside of the system (working on it though, like all of the other desperate fuckers), but it's a whole new eye in the matter, like Vertov would say. It's the most urgent manifestation of how our modern Thought works, Deleuze could say, I guess. It's more. You don't have to be a storyteller to make cinema. You're free from the American formula. Anyway, you see what I mean ? I just want to watch the American movie industry burned to the ground.
Alright, so cinema should be entirely non fiction?

So, what would a non story film example look like?
Depends, I try to be wary of redditism, are you really interested ? I could go in depth.
Sure
