Well, of course the Commish can make his own rules, but I think there's some confusement here.
Non-fiction means there's no fiction, of if there is, it's called "re-enactment", which is often distinguisible from the text "RE-ENACTMENT" blinking on some corner of the screen.
I think there should also be a minimun requirement that the moviemakers themselves present their work as non-fictional. "A creative work based on fact", which is what it says in the movie, is a pretty blatant statement that "this is fiction".
If it is (or claims to be)
fact, then it's non-fiction/documentary. If it's
based on fact, it isn't and doesn't claim to be fact. Which means it's fiction.
