Nostalgia (2008)

The film "Nostalgia" chronicles specific real-life events from April to July of 1996; one of its themes is how we can all help shape each other's lives, whether or not it's necessarily a conscious thing, and how we are all connected in places we may choose not to look. It is unique in that the entire film is non-fiction down to the spoken word (a micro recorder was used to record dialogue during the events in question), with everyone from the events appearing as themselves, and as many of the actual locations as possible were used while shooting; in essence, re-creating particular moments in time as specifically as possible after the fact. This combination has never been done in film before. In addition, the entire music score consists solely of the human voice, which is also a first for cinema. Over thirty individuals have contributed to Nostalgia's score; the vocalists and compositions are from numerous ethnic backgrounds, with the genres ranging from classical to tribal. The recordings range from one-take solos to quarter-second edits, and create a landscape unlike any other."
