"Cinema verite" is a style of documentary filmmaking that emerged in the 1960s. The term is of French origin, meaning "truthful cinema." While there isn't a specific film titled "Cinema verite," the style became associated with a movement of documentary filmmakers who aimed to capture reality as it unfolded, often using handheld cameras and avoiding staged setups.
One of the early and influential films associated with cinema verite is "Chronicle of a Summer" (French: "Chronique d'un été"), directed by Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin. It was released in 1961 and is considered a landmark work in the cinema verite movement.
So, while there isn't a specific release year for "Cinema verite" as a film, the style became prominent in the early 1960s with influential works like "Chronicle of a Summer."
