But is truth or reality readily available, easily acquired, or undisputed? Or do documentaries convey illusions of reality? What aesthetic means are used to build these illusions?
Crafting truth illuminates the way these films tell their stories; how they use the camera, editing, sound, and performance; what rhetorical devices they employ; and what the theoretical, practical, and ethical implications of those choices are. Complex documentary concepts are presented through easily accessible language, images, and a discussion of a wide range of films and videos to encourage new ways of thinking about and seeing nonfiction cinema.

Although Weir (b. 1944) has acquired a reputation of being guarded about his life and work, these interviews by archivists, journalists, historians, and colleagues reveal him to be a most amiable and forthcoming subject. [...] Interviews discuss Weir's diverse and impressive range of work - his earlier films 'Picnic at Hanging Rock', 'The Last Wave', 'Gallipoli', and 'The Year of Living Dangerously', as well as Academy Award-nominated 'Witness', 'Dead Poets Society', 'Green Card', 'The Truman Show', and 'Master and Commander'. This book confirms the trajectory of Weir's life and work parallels and embodies Australia's quest to define and express a historical and cultural identity." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes chronology and filmography for Peter Weir's work; includes indexISBN: 9781617038976Contents: Foreword by David Thomson -- Introduction: "unmet friends": encounters with Peter Weir -- Chronology -- Filmography -- Peter Weir: reclaiming a Sydney boyhood: John C.
