1. 法国导演尚．胡许的作品 (或称“纪实电影”) 和以美国为中心之直接电影倡导者的作品，两者的异同为何？除了拍摄的创意与理论，甚至在电影本身的架构上，他们如何表现这些异同？他们各自希望捕捉什么样的“真实”？
   What are the parallels and differences between the work of French director, Jean Rouch, (sometimes referred to as "cinema verite") and the work of direct cinema proponents centered in the United States? How are these parallels and differences expressed, not only in terms of their ideas and theories of filmmaking, but in the construction of the films themselves? What sorts of "truth" does each hope to capture?
