Pellicula documentaria
Pellicula documentaria, vel pellicula documentalis, est pellicula ad conservandos certos realitatis aspectus designata, imprimis eo consilio, ut discipulos erudiat aut documenta historica conservet. Tales pelliculae primum in film stock capi solebant (in solo medio olim in usu), sed ratio pellicularum faciendarum nunc video et productiones digitales comprehendit, quae direct-to-video (fortasse 'recte-ad-video'), in spectaculum televisificum factum, vel pro exhibitione in cinemateis emissae possunt. Vocabulum documentarium describi potest "tractatio pellicularum factarum, traditio cinematica, et modus receptionis spectatorum" qui se constanter evolvit, finibus claris carens.

Definitio documentarii 
Documentary, vocabulum Anglicum ('documentarium' significans), primum pelliculis huius generis adhibitum est in recognitione pelliculae Moanae Roberti J. Flaherty, a "The Moviegoer" scripta, nomine calami Ioannis Grierson, in diario New York Sun die 8 Februarii 1926 edito.
