What is "documenteur"

Documenteur also known as Documenteur: An Emotion Picture is a French-American feature film by French director Agnès Varda. The film debuted at the 1981 Toronto International Film Festival.

The film stars Sabine Mamou as a single mother and Varda's son Mathieu Demy as her son.

Though the film stands on its own it was made as a companion piece to the documentary Murs Murs in which Varda filmed mural art around L.A. and interviewed the artists who had made the pieces. Many of the murals filmed in Murs Murs appears in Documenteur and the film even opens with the same image as Murs Murs ended on.
