This paper interprets the work of documentary filmmaker Zuzana Piussi in terms of its clear similarities and differences to the principles of filmmaking employed by Dziga Vertov and the style of cinéma-vérité. Only in this way can one reach a definition of the additional original elements in her approach to directing and her distinctive authorial style. The paper outlines the main characteristics of Piussi’s work, so that it can be reflected upon from the perspective of authorial strategy, and discusses the relationship of Piussi as filmmaker to the protagonists in her films, her involvement in the plot itself, the thematic focus of her work, the use of technology in capturing both image and sound, the editing of the filmed material and the resolution of ethical matters in her authorial approach to the protagonists. Piussi is a filmmaker more concerned with the content of a film than its objectivity or form. She has a talent for finding current, controversial, ethically questionable and politically “unpleasant” themes to base her work on. She works with a small film crew and often at her own expense, so she is not subject to the demands of a film producer. Her independence allows her to critically act as a journalist and thus unmask the ills in our society.
