| | Posted: | | | | I have some films they are not true documentary, but they are documentary. I will have like false/fake documentary: - Forgotten Silver. (Peter Jackson rewrite the story of cinema and more...)   I put few time ago to a classe, and more than 3 people think that was true.  - State Confederates of America (Sececión war finish very diferent) - The Dead of a President (False asesination of Bush) - F of Fake (Orson Welles created a true documentary about false documentary of false falsificator who mades false falsifications ) They are not alwais comedy, but I think I must not put they like a Documentary, are similar narration tipe, but they are not true. |

| | Posted: | | | | This is definately what the customisable local genres were designed for.
If we all wanted our own little quirky genres in the main database genre list, we'd have about 5000 to choose from and be arguing all day on what suits each dvd better.
If you need an explanation on how to use custom local genres please shout
cheers

| | Posted: | | | | I was just looking through the documentaries in my collection, and spotted A Short Film About John Bolton erroneously labelled as a documentary. It's interesting viewing, particularly for fans of vampires. | | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |

When you used filtres, is title is tagged like fiction+documentary will be listed like documentary... but you must used tagged documentary, because used the same narrative elements. But I don't like mokumentaries put only like fiction, because they are diferent of tipical fiction films, because they used documentary elements for narration, they are more than only fiction, and not all are funny. For me, Mockumentary is a one gener independent of others, a gener few peoples know that it be. |
