A bit precious perhaps, but still, documents to consider.

Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming.
Produced between October 2003 and October 2005 the film looks into the places
where food is produced in European farms, greenhouses, processing plants and
other places where crops and animals are cultivated and processed to become
food for people. The images of food and animals treated as an industrial
products are presented without comment. No dialogue, just the sounds of
machines and ambient noise.

I'm looking for examples of films that do interesting
things with words, either written or spoken, or (at the other extreme) try
to do without words. I've got lots of silent films with title cards I can
use, but I am looking for others. Some that come to mind include The Man
with the Movie Camera, My Dinner with Andre, and Koyaanisqatsi. Any
further suggestions? I'm interested in credits, subtitles, words on sets,
dialogue, voiceover, etc.
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
