Summary: "In discussing films such as Touching the Void (2003), Capturing the Friedmans (2003) and the work of Nick Broomfield, this timely introduction to the growing field of documentary explores the definition and understanding of the form, as well as the relationship between documentary and drama, specifically the notion of reconstruction and re-enactment. Paul Ward also examines animated documentaries, the meeting point of comedy and documentary modes, the ability of documentary to accurately represent historical events, and feature-length contemporary works that have achieved widespread cinematic release."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: Imagining Reality takes the reader on a tour of the evolution of documentary film as an increasingly vibrant, polemical, experimental and entertaining form. It gathers a wide-ranging collection of writings by and about such groundbreaking documentary-makers as Vertov, Flaherty, Marcel Ophuls, Chris Marker, Kieslowski, Claude Lanzmann, and Nick Broomfield. The story is carried up to date by attention to the success documentaries have had among mainstream movie audiences in recent years, including Michael Moore's Bowling For Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, The Buena Vista Social Club, Spellbound, Capturing The Friedmans, Être Et Avoir, and The Fog Of War. --TAKEN FROM PUBLISHER'S SITE

Summary: "New Documentary: A Critical Introduction provides a contemporary look at documentary and fresh and challenging ways of theorising the non-fiction film. This engaging textbook brings the study of documentary up to date by examining critical issues of performance, gender, authorship and spectatorship and suggests how these are important to an understanding of documentary cinema. Areas addressed include: key texts such as Zapruder's film of Kennedy's Assassination, Shoah, The Leader, His Driver and the Driver's Wife and the Atomic Cafe; the works of filmmakers such as Emile de Antonio, Chris Marker, Nicholas Barker, Nick Broomfield, Molly Dineen and Patrick Kieller; an analysis of the key aspects of documentary such as the use of voice-over and archive, American cinema verite, docusoaps and political image-making; an innovative examination of the importance of performance to documentary; interviews with contemporary documentary filmmakers." -- BOOK BLURB
