“Think of your favourite film.” That’s the sound of Netflix celebrating cinema in a new documentary series from David Fincher and a team of filmmaking and film writing talents.

From executive producer David Fincher and directed by The Empty Man helmer David Prior, Taylor Ramos and Tony Zhou, the series is a collection of visual essays. Contributing are also film critic Drew McWeeny, Walter Chaw and Sasha Stone, with each of them focusing on the personal connections they have to the stories we see on the big screen. From intimate personal histories to insights on character and craft, each episode reminds us why cinema holds a special place in our lives.

You can see the end result on 6th December, when the series premieres on Netflix – until then, here’s the trailer:

 

Voir is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.

 

Voir: Netflix and David Fincher team up for cinema documentary

14th October 2021

Netflix and David Fincher are teaming up for a new documentary series about cinema, called Voir.

From executive producer David Fincher and directed by David Prior, Taylor Ramos and Tony Zhou, the series is a collection of visual essays celebrating cinema, from the mind of one of film’s modern masters.

The series, which was announced by Netflix this week – after a cryptic tweet that led to some fans hoping for a Mindhunter movie or a Mank sequel – will hail from not only Fincher and The Empty Man helmer Prior but also other contributors. One of them is Drew McWeeny, a former staff member of Ain’t It Cool News and HitFix, who has written one episode.

He wrote on his own site about the series: “We’re not trying to sell you anything, and we’re not interviewing anyone about what Marvel movies they’re doing. We’re each tackling a totally different idea, something that intrigues us or upsets us or that has to do with our connection to the movies.”

Voir will premiere at AFI Fest in November, and will be released on Netflix at an unconfirmed date.
