Tue Steen Müller, film-critic, co-founder of the several Film- and TV-Festival, tutor on training programs from Denmark made his list of this year best documentaries.
A year has passed. I have seen films at festivals and in cinemas around Europe and in the US. I have seen films at home via links sent to me, thanks to many for their generosity. 2014 was a great year for the creative documentary, the one where there is an artistic ambition and a personal interpretation of the world we live in. I know it is "normal" in games like this to go by 10 or 25, but when I had my list of 16 I found it impossible to cut away, so you get 16 from me, below in alphabetical order, and in most cases you can click and get to a review. Photos have been chosen from films that I have not written about - here 20,000 Days on Earth by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, UK.
