Louis de Rochemont

Louis de Rochemont

Louis de Rochemont (January 13, 1899-December 23, 1978) was a film maker known for creating, along with Roy E. Larsen from Time, Inc, the monthly movie-theater shown documentaries March of Time.

The newsreels defined film news from 1935-51. The 20-minute films, which combined filmed news with interpretive interviews and dramatizations, appeared between featured films in theaters.

When he moved from newsreels to feature films, de Rochemont chose to produce films based on real stories in actual locations, often with locals in the cast. After three spy films that helped define film noir, including "House on 92nd Street", he produced a wide array of feature films such as the semi-documentary "Boomerang" (1947). He has been called the "father of the docu-drama." His early documentary productions won two Academy Awards.
