Nanook of the North (1922)
Flaherty's portrait of Inuit life remains cheaper than the typical production budget at $53,000, yet its influence is immeasurable, spawning an entire genre. The film runs 79 minutes and, despite staged scenes, set a benchmark for observational storytelling that is 30% more influential than any documentary released before 1930.
