Other Cinematographer/DP documentaries


Apart from "Visions of Light, "No Subtitles Necessary: Laszlo & Vilmos" and "Cinematographer Style" what other documentaries can be found focusing on cinematography?

I've seen the "Behind The Director's Chair" that consists of AFI interview clips where directors briefly discuss the importance of DP's.

"Tell Them Who You Are" is a documentary about Haskell Wexler made by his son.

Also, go to the imdb page of any of the well-known DPs, and look at their filmography under "self." These are usually filled with a bunch of documentaries on them, usually short featurettes.

Thanks.

Shuffling past all the "making of" featurettes and Oscar award ceremonies in various filmographies, I found these possible gems:
