Bio provided by Wikipedia

Albert (born November 26,

1926, Boston, Massachusetts) and David Maysles (rhymes with "hazels",

born 10 January 1932, Boston, Massachusetts) were a documentary

filmmaking team whose cinéma vérité works include Salesman (1968), Gimme

Shelter (1970) and Grey Gardens (1976). Their 1964 film on The Beatles

forms the backbone of the DVD, The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit.

Several Maysles films document art projects by Christo and Jeanne-Claude

over a three-decade period, from 1974 when Christo's Valley Curtain was

nominated for an Academy Award to 2005 when The Gates headlined New

York's Tribeca Film Festival.

David Maysles, the younger brother,

died of a stroke on January 3, 1987, in New York. Albert Maysles

graduated in 1949 with a BA from Syracuse University and later earned a

masters degree at Boston University. Albert has continued to make films

on his own since his brother's death. Jean-Luc Godard once called Albert

Maysles "the best American cameraman". In 2005 Maysles was given a

lifetime achievement award at the Czech film festival AFO (Academia Film

Olomouc). He is working on his own autobiographical documentary.

2005 he founded the Maysles Institute, a nonprofit organization that

provides training and apprenticeships to underprivileged individuals.

Albert is a patron of Shooting People, a filmmakers' community.
