Behind-the-screen documentary


A back-screen documentary is a documentary showing how it goes behind the coils, for example, how the production of a movie, television program or stage performance is created (often with the English term making or referring) .

Such documentaries form a movie genre within the film world, as they are increasingly the length of a feature film. This may cause the documentary to become even more important than the movie itself. A well-known example is Lost in La Mancha, which reports on the difficult production and final discontinuation of the planned film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. The documentary then came out as the only one. Such a documentary is often featured in films around the premiere of the film in question as part of the marketing, or can be added as an addition to the DVD release.
