Shot in the style of traditional observational documentaries, The Candidate takes a behind-the-scenes look at the election campaign of the current French president Emmanuel Macron. But the camera focuses not just on his flashy façade – it mainly looks at how it was created with the help of various advisors and spin doctors. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
