I think Godard, Mieville, and Gorin's ICI ET AILLEURS fits the bill:
it's about the Dziga-Vertov Group's failure to complete a film in
support of the PFLP, and how one situation keeps reminding you of
another.
And along the FAR FROM POLAND lines (aborting the planned film before
it starts, making a film about "here" rather than "there"), Peck's
LUMUMBA: DEATH OF A PROPHET.
And on a different scale of accidental production: the Zapruder film.
Who *plans* to make a home movie of an assassination?
