The act of documenting : documentary film in the 21st century / Brian Winston, Gail Vanstone and Wang Chi London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2017.
Call No: 761 WINAuthor: Winston, Brian ; Vanstone, Gail ; Chi, Wang Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: Bloomsbury AcademicPubDate: 2017PhysDes: xii ; 271 pages : illustrations ; 23 cmSubject: DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; FILMMAKING ; AESTHETICS ; EDITING ; PRODUCTION ; CAMERAS Summary: “Fiercely argued, urgently rendered, and rigorously researched, The Act of Documenting whacks through the ethical, political, moral, evidentiary, and argumentative acts undergirding documentary production and reception. This gutsy, vital book cuts to the core of documentary: it interrogates the place of documentary in the world and how it engages people and ideas in ways that truly matter. Moving adroitly between the histories of analog documentary and the promising landscapes of digital forms, this substantial, sage book irrefutably shows that ethics, politics, and philosophical inquiry override formats, interfaces, and technologies. Polemical yet lyrical, forceful yet inviting, this book leaves the reader exhilarated with new ways of thinking about and through documentary. The opening chapter précis could be assembled as an intellectual toolkit for all us in the act of documentary-theorists, historians, practitioners, programmers, or offered as a manifesto cracking open the most salient issues demanding our attention and action.” -- Patricia R.

Affective authorship : contemporary Asian Australian documentary in Studies in Australasian cinema (2008) vol.2 iss.2 p.157-170
Author: Smaill, Belinda PhysDes: ArticleSubject: DOCUMENTARY FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; ASIANS IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; ETHNIC GROUPS AND THE CINEMA ; PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF FILMS ; FINISHED PEOPLE, THE (AT, Khoa Do, 2003) ; LETTERS TO ALI (AT, Clara Law, 2004) ; SADNESS: A MONOLOGUE BY WILLIAM YANG (AT, Tony Ayres, 1999) ; CHINESE TAKEAWAY (AT, Mitzi Goldman, 2002) Summary: Documentary is a genre not widely understood through its capacity to engage the emotions. This article works to acknowledge the affective labour performed by documentary and, more specifically, the way emotions give meaning to documentary subjects. The analysis explores the production of Asian Australian subjects as documentary authors in four prominent films produced over the previous decade: Chinese Takeaway (Mitzi Goldman, 2002), Sadness: A Monologue by William Yang (Tony Ayres, 1999), The Finished People (Khoa Do, 2003) and Letters to Ali (Clara Law. 2004). These texts allow for a fruitful examination of the way the emotions that shape the expression of these author-subjects, such as mourning and care, might impact on the documentary representation of cultural otherness. Asian Australian subjectivity coalesces in and around these texts in a manner that is founded on the activity of mourning. Included here are not only the bereavements of loved ones, but also the losses that are bound to the movements of modernity, such as the lost fullness which is the promise of diaspora, the failure or absence of universal citizenship and the lack of safety in life lived in advanced capitalism. This article explores not only the absences suggested in these films, but also how these absences present a site of ethical encounter for the viewer that both resists reducing and assimilating the Asian Australian author to a devalued ethnic other while also addressing a community of viewers through a relation of reciprocity based in caring attachments to the social realm. -- AbstractNotes: Part of Special Issue: Transnational Asian Australian Cinema.

The art of record offers a fascinating insight into the functions of documentary in film and television. Documentary's attempts to depict reality, and to comment on it, have provoked disagreement from the 1920s to the present day. Recent debates about knowledge and representation, and about the changing character of publiv culture, have increased its interests and relevance. John Corner presents a clear overview of the theoretical issues and critical debates around documentary, and discusses the development of the main styles and approaches, including dramadocs and fly-on-the-wall. He also looks at the dual identity of work in documentary - as both artefact and as reference.The book provides a valuable detailed analysis of powerful documentary films and programmes such as the classic 1930s films Coalface and Housing Problems (on aspects of contemporary work and environment), Cathy Come Home (whose presentation of homelessness had an enormous impact) and The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter (about the treatment of women in US factories during World War Two)." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p.

At another level it is a sketch of an internationalist progressive film culture in the same place and period. It examines some landmark films in Australian Film History and places these important works in an international context. In this work of film history Deane Williams proposes that, while these films have been understood as inferior remakes of "overseas" written, theatrical and filmic texts, these films are evidence of an Australian film culture that was a key participant in an international network of documentary practice and criticism."--BOOK JACKET.Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p.

In addition to Charles Warren's broad introductory history of the genre, the book takes a close look at ethnographic films, cinema verite, memoir and autobiography, docudramas, essay films, and newsreels, from classics like Night and Fog and Nanook of the North to more recent important work like Film about a Woman Who..., Harlan County, U.S.A., Sans Soleil, and Forest of Bliss.
Representations of reality are increasingly contested, in courtrooms and Congress, as well as in art. Asking what the art of film can achieve, Helene Keyssar considers the history of nonfiction films by women; Jay Cantor discusses film investigations of the Holocaust; Patricia Hampl looks at how autobiographical films render experience into narrative; Robert Gardner questions the filmmaker's "impulse to preserve"; and poet Susan Howe explores structures of mourning in several filmmakers. All of the books essays provide deeply felt understandings of documentary film, and of how we live with, and within, images." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 345-350) and indexISBN: 0819552879 (cl : alk. paper); 0819562904 (pbk. : alk. paper)LON: 11642141Contents: Words of welcome / Stanley Cavell -- Introduction, with a brief history of nonfiction film / Charles Warren -- Death and the image / Jay Cantor -- Memory's movies / Patricia Hampl -- Eternal Verites / William Rothman -- The toil of thought: on several nonfiction films by women / Helene Keyssar -- The camera people / Eliot Weinberger -- The impulse to preserve / Robert Gardner -- You are there / Maureen Howard -- Earth and beyond: Dusan Makaveyev's WR: Mysteries of the Organism / Charles Warren -- In search of the centaur: the essay film / Phillip Lopate -- Vertov's cinematic transposition of reality / Vlada Petric -- Sorting facts; or, nineteen ways of looking at marker / Susan Howe

The Biograph in battle : its story in the South African War related with personal experiences / W.K.-L. Dickson ; with a new introduction by Richard Brown. Madison: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 1995.
Call No: 81DIC DICAuthor: Dickson, W. K. L. Edition: Facsim. reprint ed.Source: USPlace: MadisonPublisher: Fairleigh Dickinson University PressPubDate: 1995PhysDes: xix, 300 p. : ill. ; 21 cmSubject: SOUTH AFRICA IN FILMS ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS. AFRICAN COUNTRIES Summary: First published in 1901 and now a rare collector's item, this is cameraman Dickson's diary kept during the Biograph Company's filming on the battlefields of the Boer War. The book is being republished in a facsimile edition, with a specially commissioned introduction from film historian Richard Brown. It tells of one man's absolute determination to bring back - against great odds - a filmed record of war, at a time when the medium itself was in its infancy. Dickson's huge machine, designed by himself, weighed nearly half a ton and had to be transported everywhere in South Africa by horse-drawn cart, requiring the combined efforts of several strong men each time it had to be set up. The book is exceptional among the handful of written accounts produced in the first years of the cinema. It is a human document, written not in a mood of quiet reflection after the event, but as a vital diary recording dangerous and difficult conditions at the Front.

Nichols argues that the history of social representation in film, television, and video requires an understanding of the fate of both contemporary and older work. Traditionally, film history and cultural studies sought to place films in a historical context. Nichols proposes a new goal: to examine how specific works, old and new, promote or suppress a sense of historical consciousness. Examining work from Eisenstein's Strike to the Rodney King videotape, Nichols interrelates issues of formal structure, viewer response, and historical consciousness. Simultaneously, Blurred Boundaries radically alters the interpretative frameworks offered by neoformalism and psychoanalysis: Comprehension itself becomes a social act of transformative understanding rather than an abstract mental process, while the use of psychoanalytic terms like desire, lack, or paranoia to make social points metaphorically yields to vocabulary designed expressly for historical interpretation - such as project, intentionality, and the social imaginary. An important departure from prevailing trends in many fields, Blurred Boundaries offers new directions for the study of visual culture." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 149-182) and indexISBN: 0253340640 (alk. paper); 0253209005 (paper : alk. paper)LON: 10767942

Call No: 761 CONAuthor: Kara, Selmin (ed.) ; Marcus, Daniel (ed.) Source: US/UKPlace: LondonPublisher: RoutledgePubDate: 2016PhysDes: xvii, 209 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSubject: DOCUMENTARIES ; DOCUMENTARY DRAMAS ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; CRITICISM Summary: "Contemporary Documentary offers a rich survey of the rapidly expanding landscape of documentary film, television, video, and new media. The collection of original essays addresses the emerging forms, popular genres, and innovative approaches of the digital era.
The anthology highlights geographically and thematically diverse examples of documentaries that have expanded the scope and impact of non-fiction cinema and captured the attention of global audiences over the past three decades. It also explores the experience of documentary today, with its changing dynamics of production, collaboration, distribution, and exhibition, and its renewed political and cultural relevance.
The twelve chapters - featuring engaging case studies and written from a wide range of perspectives including film theory, social theory, ethics, new media, and experience design - invite students to think critically about documentary as a vibrant field, unrestricted in its imagination and quick in its response to new forms of filmmaking.
Offering a methodical exploration of the expansive reach of documentary as a creative force in the media and society of the twenty-first century, Contemporary Documentary is an ideal collection for students of film, media, and communication who are studying documentary film."

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.

Films are placed within their broader social perspective, and Barnouw traces filmmaking developments in a single country to global uptake. Particular emphasis is placed on the influence of governments and large corporations on the content of films. The book covers television documentary, direct cinema, cinema verite as well as film-makers dealing with exploration, animals, aspects of war, human behaviour, social problems and propaganda. Such diverse film-makers as Flaherty, Vertov, Grierson, Ivens, Lorentz, Jennings, Sucksdorff, Rouch, Leacock, and the Maysles are included.ISBN: 0195018354Donation: donated by the family of Wayne Levy, 2006Contents: -- 1: glimpse of wonders -- 2: images at work -- 3: sound and fury -- 4: clouded lens -- sharp focus -- afterword -- source notes -- bibliography -- index --

UK ; INSTRUCTIONAL FILMS ; PROPAGANDA FILMS ; POLITICAL FILMS ; TRUTH IN FILMS ; ANSTEY, EDGAR ; CAVALCANTI, ALBERTO ; ELTON, ARTHUR ; GRIERSON, JOHN ; ROTHA, PAUL ; WRIGHT, BASIL Summary: "With the advent of sound a host of film makers began, during the 1930s, to explore the wider possibilities of film as a means of communication. Without doubt the most spectacular development during this decade of social and political unrest was the dramatic growth of the mainstream British documentary movement closely associated with names such as John Grierson and Paul Rotha, which is often described as Britain's most important contribution to world cinema. In these pages for the first time a full and detailed account is given of people involved in the documentary movement and a coherant attempt is made to date and describe their whole output. Rachael Low demonstrates how different documentary styles evolved, developed and changed - and eventually split into two distinct schools of film making.
An equally important innovation in the 1930s was the first use of film for educational purposes. Rachael Low records in detail the many experiments and debates held to determine the best use of films in schools and the often disappointing attempts to produce satisfactory educational films."--BOOK JACKETNotes: includes bibliographical references; incldues film listing

They link together political and social factors with matters of 'documentary language', addressing the particular questions of representational realism and of public communication which documentaries so sharply raise but which are relevant to a far wider range of mass media activities.
The specially commissioned essays in this volume offer a stimulating exploration of a lively and powerful mode; several indeed open up entirely new areas of media analysis.

A. ; VERTOV, DZIGA ; VIGO, JEAN ; DONT LOOK BACK (US, D.A. Pennebaker, 1967) Summary: "Not all documentary films and videos are sober depictions of the real world. Documentary representations can present expressive, entertaining and spectacular images. This book examines such innovative approaches as they occur within the process of 'documentary display' - a practice which emphasises the visual attractions of documentary representation. Works of documentary display explore modes of exhibitionistic 'showing' in which sensation is frequently the vehicle of cognition and knowledge. Such a display is analysed within the popular and prominent forms of found-footage film, 'rockumentary', the city film, nonfiction surf film and video, and certain views of natural science topics. This accessible and informed study - with its focus on entertaining, popular, spectacular and sensational froms of nonfiction representation - makes an important contribution to theoretical analyses of documentary film and video."--BOOK JACKETNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 155-181) and index.ISBN: 9781905674725 (pbk)Contents: Introduction -- 1.

A. ; MAYSLES, ALBERT & DAVID ; BARRON, ARTHUR ; WISEMAN, FREDERICK ; PINCUS, ED ; SHAMBERG, MICHAEL Summary: "Perhaps no other art form brings art and reality in any closer juxtaposition than the documentary film. Through the lenses of the documentary filmmaker, we have seen firsthand the excitement of rock concerts, the realities of our political leaders, and the lifestyles of exotic cultures. Few people would argue with the almost limitless potential of the medium, but have we seriously considered how "objective" these films really are - or can be? Should the filmmaker be more concerned with social change or objective reality? In this volume, G. Roy Levin discusses these questions, along with a whole range of aesthetic and political considerations, with the most prominent documentary filmmakers of the world. The directors include the Maysles brothers; Frederick Wiseman, responsible for Titicut Follies; Richard Leacock/D.A. Pennebaker, the team that produced Monterey Pop; and fourteen others, from England, France, Belgium and the U.S. The book includes a brief history of documentary film, as well as exhaustive filmographies on each director." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p.[405]-406ISBN: 0385045905LON: 14286490URL status: URL: 'http://-'

Edited by one of the leading British authorities in the field, The Documentary Film Book is an essential guide to current thinking on documentary film.
In a series of fascinating essays, key international experts discuss the theory of documentary, outline current understandings of its history (from pre-Flaherty to the post-Griersonian world of digital 'i-Docs'), survey documentary production (from Africa to Europe, and from the Americas to Asia), consider documentaries by marginalised minority communities, and assess its contribution to other disciplines and arts. Brought together here in one volume, these scholars offer compelling evidence as to why, over the last few decades, documentary has come to the centre of screen studies. -- BOOK BLURBISBN: 9781844573417Contents: Acknowledgments -- Notes on Contributors -- Foreword: Why Documentaries Matter -- Introduction: The Filmed Documentary --; PART I: DOCUMENTARY VALUES -- The Question of Evidence, the Power of Rhetoric and Documentary Film: Bill Nichols -- 'I'll Believe It When I Trust the Source': Documentary Images and Visual Evidence: Carl Plantinga -- 'The Performance Documentary': The Performing Film-Maker, the Acting Subject: Stella Bruzzi -- On Truth, Objectivity and Partisanship: The Case of Michael Moore: Douglas Kellner -- CGI and the End of Photography as Evidence: Taylor Downing -- Drawn From Life: The Animated Documentary: Andy Glynne -- Dramadoc?

AUSTRALIA ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS. AUSTRALIA ; THEORY ; FILM STUDY AND RESEARCH ; FILM STUDY AND RESEARCH. AUSTRALIA ; CRITICISM ; REALITY TV ; REALITY TV. AUSTRALIA ; HUBBUB (AT, Patrick Tarrant, 2007) ; ONE MORE LIKE THAT (AT, Patrick Tarrant, 2007) Summary: " Debates concerning the veracity, ethics and politics of the documentary form circle endlessly around the function of those who participate in it, and the meaning attributed to their participation. Great significance is attached to the way that documentary filmmakers do or do not participate in the world they seek to represent, just as great significance is attached to those subjects whose participation extends beyond playing the part of eyewitness or expert, such that they become part of the filmmaking process itself.
This Ph.D explores the interface between documentary practice and participatory culture by looking at how their practices, discursive fields and histories intersect, but also by looking at how participating in one might mean participating in the other. In short, the research is an examination of participatory culture through the lens of documentary practice and documentary criticism. In the process, however, this examination of participatory culture will in turn shed light on documentary thinking, especially the meaning and function of 'the participant' in contemporary documentary practice." -- ABSTRACTNotes: Presented to the Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology; Thesis (Ph.D.)--Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, 2008; Includes bibliographical references (p. 151-157); Note the published version contains 1 videodisc (4 3/4 in.), but this is not included with our copyContents: -- keywords -- abstract -- table of contents -- list of figures -- supplementary material -- copyright -- statement of original authorship -- acknowledgments -- chapter 1: introduction -- chapter 2: participatory cultures & documentary practices -- chapter 3: camera movies (awesome, I fuckin' shot them!) -- chapter 4: finding, filming and documenting (the articulate archive) -- chapter 5: conclusion (the thesis film) -- appendix 1: interview questions used for hubbub -- appendix 2: instructions for the dvd -- works cited -- filmography --

Edited by the distinguished filmmaker and historian Lewis Jacobs, the book has become an indispensable reference for both students and practitioners of documentary. This new edition brings The Documentary Tradition up to date and includes the writings of almost 100 filmmakers and critics. To the five parts which trace the development of the genre from the 1920s Jacobs has added a new section of seven essays on the documentaries of the 1970s. The section is introduced by his own survey of the filmmaking of the period, "From Political Activism to Women's Consciousness," and accompanied by a selected list of documentaries of the 1970s together with photographs from a number of these films. The bibliography of works on documentary films and filmmakers has been expanded." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 577-579ISBN: 0393950425LON: 1437994URL status: URL: 'http://-'

Each essay focuses on one or two important documentaries, engaging in questions surrounding ethics, ideology, politics, power, race, gender, and representation -- but always in terms of how they arise out of or are involved in the reading of specific documentaries as particular textual constructions. By closely reading documentaries as rich visual works, this anthology fills a void in the critical writing on documentaries, which tends to privilege production over aesthetic pleasure. As we perceive and comprehend the world through visual media increasingly, understanding the textual strategies by which individual documentaries are organized has become critically important. Together, the essays cover the significant developments in the history of the documentary, from the first commercially released feature, Nanook of the North (1922), to modern independent productions, such as An American Family (1973), Tongues Untied (1989), and Finding Christa (1991), and including important national and stylistic movements and various production contexts from the mainstream to the avant-garde. Seth Feldman places Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera (1929) within the context of constructivism and futurism; Vivian Sobchack discusses the strategies of Bunuel's Las Hurdas (Land without Bread, 1931) in relation to surrealism; and Joanne Hershfield explores Que viva Mexico! (1932) as the presentation of an exotic culture by a European director. Documenting the Documentary offers clear, serious, and insightful analyses of documentary films, and is a welcome balancebetween theory and criticism, abstract conceptualization and concrete analysis. --FROM PUBLISHER'S SITENotes: includes bibliiographic references and indexISBN: 0814326390Contents: Filmmaker as hunter / William Rothman -- Peace between man and machine / Seth Feldman -- Paradise regained / Joanne Hershfield -- Synthetic vision / Vivian Sobchack -- Art of national projection / William Guynn -- Mass psychology of fascist cinema / Frank P.

TRI PESNI OF LENINE ; TRI PESNI O LENINE (UR, Dziga Vertov, 1934) Summary: "Pioneer of political documentary and inventor of cinema verite, Dziga Vertov has exerted a decisive influence on directors from Eisenstein to Goddard. Yet his reputation long rested upon a lone masterpiece, Man with a Movie Camera. Recently, however, Vertov has begun to be recognised as the creator of a body of innovative and distinct films. This, the first book in English to cover the whole of Vertov's career, reveals him to be an auteur, allowing readers to combine the familiar and less familiar aspects of his filmmaking and thinking in a cohesive narrative.
Jeremy Hicks demonstrates how Vertov draws on Soviet journalistic models for his transformation of newsreel into the new form of documentary film. Through analyses of Cine-Pravda No 21 (Leninst Cine-Pravda), Cine-Eye, Forward Soviet!, A Sixth Part of the World, The Eleventh Year, Man with a Movie Camera, Enthusiasm, Three Songs of Lenin and Lullaby, he shows how Vertov's greatest works combine authentic documentary footage ingeniously for tremendous rhetorical effect. The director's current reputation is in sharp counterpoint to the way his films were received in Russia: in the 1920s the sheer novelty of the documentary genre meant his work was little understood and much criticised, and in the 1930s Vertov was marginalised.
Documentary as we know it today is unthinkable without the rediscovery of Vertov in the 1960s. In an age more suspicious of documentary's implicit claims to objectivity, Vertov's reflexive and overtly partisan films are of even greater relevance, but need to be better known and understood. This is the purpose of Dziga Vertov: Defining Documentary Film." -- BOOK BLURBContents: -- Acknowledments -- list of illustrations -- preface -- Introduction : Dziga Vertov--defining documentary film -- The birth of documentary from the spirit of journalism : Cine-Pravda, Cine-Eye -- Vertov and documentary theory : 'the goal was truth, the means Cine-Eye' -- 'A card catalogue in the gutter' : Forward, Soviet!, A sixth part of the world -- New paths : The eleventh year, Man with a movie camera -- Sound and the defence of documentary : Enthusiasm -- Documentary or hagiography? : Three songs of Lenin -- Years of sound and silence : Lullaby -- Forward Dziga!

The essay film : dialogue; politics; utopia / edited by Elizabeth A. Papazian and Caroline Eades New York; Chichester, UK: Wallflower Press, 2016.
Call No: 632.22 ESSAuthor: Papazian, Elizabeth A ; Eades, Caroline Edition: 2016Place: New York; Chichester, UKPublisher: Wallflower PressPubDate: 2016PhysDes: xi,315 p. : illustrated ; 23 cmSubject: DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; EXPERIMENTAL FILMS ; CELOVEK S KINOAPPARATOM (UR, Dziga Vertov, 1929) ; TREE OF LIFE, THE (US, Terrence Malick, 2011) ; VERTOV, DZIGA ; MARKER, CHRIS ; Pasolini, Pier Paolo ; AKERMAN, CHANTAL ; GODARD, JEAN-LUC ; MORETTI, NANNI ; DENIS, CLAIRE ; MALICK, TERRENCE Summary: With its increasing presence in a continuously evolving media environment, the essay film as a visual form raises new questions about the construction of the subject, its relationship to the world, and the aesthetic possibilities of cinema. In this volume, authors specializing in various national cinemas (Cuban, French, German, Israeli, Italian, Lebanese, Polish, Russian, American) and critical approaches (historical, aesthetic, postcolonial, feminist, philosophical) explore the essay film and its consequences for the theory of cinema while building on and challenging existing theories. Taking as a guiding principle the essay form's dialogic, fluid nature, the volume examines the potential of the essayistic to question, investigate, and reflect on all forms of cinema—fiction film, popular cinema, and documentary, video installation, and digital essay.
A wide range of filmmakers are covered, from Dziga Vertov (Man with a Movie Camera, 1928), Chris Marker (Description of a Struggle, 1960), Nicolás Guillén Landrián (Coffea Arábiga, 1968), Pier Paolo Pasolini (Notes for an African Oresteia, 1969), Chantal Akerman (News from Home, 1976) and Jean-Luc Godard (Notre musique, 2004) to Nanni Moretti (Palombella Rossa, 1989), Mohammed Soueid (Civil War, 2002), Claire Denis (L'Intrus, 2004) and Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life, 2011), among others. The volume argues that the essayistic in film—as process, as experience, as experiment—opens the road to key issues faced by the individual in relation to the collective, but can also lead to its own subversion, as a form of dialectical thought that gravitates towards crisis. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780231176958Contents: Acknowledgments -- Notes on Contributors -- Introduction: Dialogue, Politics, Utopia, by Elizabeth A.

The essay film : from Montaigne, after Marker / Timothy Corrigan Oxford ; New York: Oxford University Press, 2011.
Call No: 632.22 CORAuthor: Corrigan, Timothy Edition: 2011Place: Oxford ; New YorkPublisher: Oxford University PressPubDate: 2011PhysDes: 238 pages : illustrated ; 24 cmSubject: DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; MCELWEE, ROSS ; VARDA, AGNES ; KIAROSTAMI, ABBAS ; FOLMAN, ARI ; MARKER, CHRIS Summary: Even though essay films have been a key practice since the 1950s, there is scant analysis about this form in English. Part of this is likely due to the inherent difficulty of definition. The films, which foreground subjectivity and adopt an explicit, personal approach to their subject matter, can look and feel very different from one another. Their coherence as a group, however, comes into focus when contextualized as part of the larger tradition from which they draw. By looking to the literary and philosophical lineage of the essay form, Corrigan brings new clarity to a practice that, arguably, is one of the most common and successful in contemporary film culture. The Essay Film situates its investigation in the literary tradition of essayists such as Montaigne, Barthes, and Huxley before moving to an expansive discussion of filmmakers such as Derek Jarman, Allan Clark, Werner Herzog, Harun Farocki, Chantal Akerman, Chris Marker, Errol Morris, Nanni Moretti, Agnès Varda, Ross McElwee, Abbas Kiarostami, Raoul Ruiz, Lynne Sachs, and Trinh T.

Essays on the essay film / edited by Nora M. Alter; Timothy Corrigan Chichester, U.K.: Columbia University Press, 2017.
Call No: 632.22 ESSAuthor: Alter, Nora M. ; Corrigan, Timothy Place: New York; Chichester, U.K.Publisher: Columbia University PressPubDate: 2017PhysDes: ix,372 : illus. ; 23 cmSeries: Film and culture seriesSubject: DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; RICHTER, HANS ; ASTRUC, ALEXANDRE ; MARKER, CHRIS ; VERTOV, DZIGA ; GODARD, JEAN-LUC ; GORIN, JEAN-PIERRE ; MULVEY, LAURA ; JULIEN, ISAAC Summary: The essay—with its emphasis on the provisional and explorative rather than on definitive statements—has evolved from its literary beginnings and is now found in all mediums, including film. Today, the essay film is, arguably, one of the most widely acclaimed and critically discussed forms of filmmaking around the world, with practitioners such as Chris Marker, Hito Steyerl, Errol Morris, Trinh T. Minh-ha, and Rithy Panh. Characteristics of the essay film include the blending of fact and fiction, the mixing of art- and documentary-film styles, the foregrounding of subjective points of view, a concentration on public life, a tension between acoustic and visual discourses, and a dialogic encounter with audiences.
This anthology of fundamental statements on the essay film offers a range of crucial historical and philosophical perspectives. It provides early critical articulations of the essay film as it evolved through the 1950s and 1960s, key contemporary scholarly essays, and a selection of writings by essay filmmakers. It features texts on the foundations of the essay film by writers such as Hans Richter and André Bazin; contemporary positions by, among others, Phillip Lopate and Michael Renov; and original essays by filmmakers themselves, including Laura Mulvey and Isaac Julien. -- publishers' web siteISBN: 9780231172677Contents: Introduction, by Nora M.

Ferocious reality : documentary according to Werner Herzog / Eric Ames Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, c2012.
Call No: 81HER AMEAuthor: Ames, Eric Source: USPlace: MinneapolisPublisher: University of Minnesota PressPubDate: c2012PhysDes: x,334 pages : illustrations ; 23 cmSeries: Visible evidence ; 27Subject: CRITICISM ; DOCUMENTARIES ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; HERZOG, WERNER ; GRIZZLY MAN (CN/US, Werner Hersog, 2005) Summary: Over the course of his career Werner Herzog has directed almost sixty films, roughly half of which are documentaries. And yet, in a statement delivered during a public appearance in 1999, the filmmaker delcared: "There are deeper strata of truth in cinema, and there is such a thing as poetic, ecstatic truth. It is mysterious and elusive, and can be reached only through fabrication and imagination and stylization." Ferocious Reality is the first book to ask how this conviction , so hostile to the traditional tenets of documentary, can inform the work of one of the world's most provocative documentarians. In close, contextualized analysis of more than twenty-five films spanning Herzog's career, Ames makes a case for exploring documentary films in terms of performance and explains what it means to do so. His book expands the field of cinema studies even as it offers an invaluable new perspective on a little studied but integral part of Werner Herzog's extraordinary oeuvre." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780816677641Contents: -- acknowledgments -- the Minnesota declaration -- Introduction: Werner Herzog, documentary outsider : Werner Herzog eats his shoe -- Sensational bodies.

Film manifestos and global cinema cultures : a critical anthology / [edited by] Scott MacKenzie Berkeley London: University of California Press, 2014.
Call No: 62 FILAuthor: MacKenzie, Scott (ed.) Source: USPlace: Berkeley LondonPublisher: University of California PressPubDate: 2014PhysDes: xxi, 651 p. ; 26 cmSubject: AVANT-GARDE FILMS ; CONSTRUCTIVISM ; SURREALISM AND THE CINEMA ; STRUCTURALISM ; NOUVELLE VAGUE ; IMPERIALISM AND THE CINEMA ; GENDER AND THE CINEMA ; FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA ; PORNOGRAPHY AND THE CINEMA ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; DOCUMENTARIES ; PHILOSOPHY AND THE CINEMA ; WORLD CINEMA ; LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES ; AESTHETICS ; HOLLYWOOD ; ARCHIVES & INSTITUTES, FILM Summary: Film Manifestoes and Global Cinema Cultures is the first book to collect manifestoes from the global history of cinema, providing the first historical and theoretical account of the role played by film manifestos in filmmaking and film culture. Focussing equally on political and aesthetic manifestoes, Scott MacKenzie uncovers a neglected, yet nevertheless central history of the cinema, exploring a series of documents that postulate ways in which to re-imagine the cinema and, in the process, re-imagine the world.
This volume collects the major European “waves” and figures (Eisenstein, Truffaut, Bergman, Free Cinema, Oberhausen, Dogme ‘95); Latin American Third Cinemas (Birri, Sanjinés, Espinosa, Solanas); radical art and the avant-garde (Buñuel, Brakhage, Deren, Mekas, Ono, Sanborn); and world cinemas (Iimura, Makhmalbaf, Sembene, Sen). It also contains previously untranslated manifestos co-written by figures including Bollaín, Debord, Hermosillo, Isou, Kieslowski, Painlevé, Straub, and many others. Thematic sections address documentary cinema, aesthetics, feminist and queer film cultures, pornography, film archives, Hollywood, and film and digital media. Also included are texts traditionally left out of the film manifestos canon, such as the Motion Picture Production Code and Pius XI's Vigilanti Cura, which nevertheless played a central role in film culture. -- extract taken from the back of the bookNotes: Includes index -- Includes bibliographical references and index.ISSN: 9780520276741Contents: Introduction. “An Invention without a Future” -- 1.

His theory was at every point elaborated in direct, vigorous relation with practice; his doctrine of kino-eye, breaking with film's subjection to traditional narrative purposes, was a passionate call to action. Vertov's spirit of revolutionary optimism leaps from his pages. Articles, memoranda, speeches, letters, proposals for films, poured from his pen - explaining, defining, persuading. In voluminous notebooks and diaries he proposed a cinema implicated in the process of revolutionary transformation, one that would play a leading role in the construction of socialism." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Filmography: p.

The book moves from broad historical and theoretical context, particularly theories of nation, emergent discourses of "mexicanidad" and the establishment and development of the Mexican industry, towards readings of key film texts and genres. Individual chapters discuss the relationship between Hollywood cinema and Mexican cinema, the stars of the "Golden Age," the role of foreign auteurs in the founding of Mexican cinema, tensions in the industry in the 1960s, and the national and international reception of contemporary films and film-makers. The author then examines the portrayal of Mexican nationhood through critical analysis of film genres including Revolutionary films, machismo and "mexicanidad," the prostitute, and the work of female auteurs.ISBN: 0415230101

Muslim women in French cinema : voices of Maghrebi migrants in France / Leslie Kealhofer-Kemp Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, 2015.
Call No: 451-054(=927)(44) KEAAuthor: Kealhofer-Kemp, Leslie Source: UKPlace: LiverpoolPublisher: Liverpool University PressPubDate: 2015PhysDes: xii, 226 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmSeries: Contemporary French and francophone cultures ; 41Subject: FRANCE ; FRANCE IN FILMS ; WOMEN IN FILMS ; RELIGION AND THE CINEMA ; TRANSNATIONALISM AND THE CINEMA ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS Summary: "Muslim Women in French Cinema: Voices of Maghrebi Migrants in France is the first comprehensive study of cinematic representations of first-generation Muslim women from the Maghreb (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) in France. Women of this generation migrated to France during the decades preceding and following the end of French colonial rule, and they are generally - though not always accurately - regarded as belonging to a generation of migrants silenced under the weight of poverty, illiteracy, Islamic tradition, and majority ethnic Islamophobia. Situated at the intersection of post-colonial studies, gender studies, and film studies, this book brings together a diverse corpus of over 60 documentaries, short films, telefilms (made-for-television films), and feature films released in France between 1979 and 2014, and it devotes one chapter to each kind of film. In examining the ways in which the voices, experiences, and points of view of Maghrebi migrant women in France are represented and communicated through a selection of key films, this study offers new perspectives on Maghrebi migrant women in France. It shows that women of this generation, as they are represented in these films, are far more diverse and often more empowered than has generally been thought. The films examined in this study are part of larger contemporary debates and discussions relating to immigration, integration, and what it means to be French." -- LIBRARIES AUSTRALIANotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781781381984Contents: -- list of illustrations -- acknowledgments -- introduction: Maghrebi migrant women in France and French cinema -- 1: The Voices of Maghrebi Women in Documentary Films: Framing Construction and Transparency -- 2: First-Generation Women in Short Films: Crossing Barriers and Communicating Experiences through Objects -- 3: The Voices of Maghrebi Migrant Women in French Telefilms: Portraying Agency -- 4: Transmitting the Voices of Maghrebi Women through Feature Films: From Verbal to Non-Verbal Forms of Communication -- conclusion -- appendix -- notes -- bibliography index --

The main emphasis of the book is on the British and American cinema and hundreds of documentary, action, and 'actuality' films from Nanook of the North to Woodstock and Gimme Shelter are described, discussed and analysed, including films by the great pioneers such as Robert Flaherty, Basil Wright, John Grierson and Paul Rotha and the new experimental film makers like Richard Leacock, D. A. Pennebaker, Frederick Wiseman and Albert and David Maysles. Richard Barsam provides a critical framework against which the non-fiction film can be studied and enjoyed. Among the many topics covered are early American, Russian and Continental films, the British and American films of the twenties and thirties, the films of World War II and the whole range of styles and subjects of the fifties, sixties and today." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Originally published: New York : Dutton, 1973; Bibl.: p.317-321. - List of films: p.299-316. - IndexISBN: 0047910313 (Pbk) : ª1.95; 0047910305LON: 1923477Contents: 1.

Chanan's thematic approach takes in topics such as the documentary before documentary, how documentary film language works, the veracity of the image, the construction of the soundtrack, the migration of documentary to television, political documentary, censorship, first-person film making, and the relation of the archives to history and memory. Drawing on examples of documentary cinema in Japan, Iran, and Latin America as well as Europe and the USA, Chanan argues that documentary provides a crucial public space in which ideas are debated, opinion is formed and those in authority are held to account.

UK ; UNITED KINGDOM ; DOCUMENTARIES ; DOCUMENTARIES: UNITED KINGDOM ; MOVEMENTS AND STYLES IN FILM HISTORY ; HISTORY OF CINEMA ; CRITICISM ; GRIERSON, JOHN ; FLAHERTY, ROBERT ; NIGHT MAIL (UK, Basil Wright & Harry Watt, 1936) Summary: "The image of British documentary has usually been one of artistic prestige and a certain doctrinaire stuffiness. This book is an attempt to recreate the real human experience behind the myth - utilizing a kind of documentary method, intercutting the author's commentary and interview material. Elizabeth Sussex, who is a film-maker herself, talked with all the important living figures of the documentary movement about its complex conflicts, frustrations, and missed chances. Her account is tempered, critical, and knowledgeable. It not only provides a circumstantial record of the movement, but poses issues that must be confronted in any attempt to use film for social purposes. Some outstanding characters in the story - Cavalcanti and Jennings, for example - are evaluated anew, and aspects of the movement that we have known primarily through Grierson's genius for publicity receive skeptical scrutiny. Skillfully edited into a concise and dramatic chronological story, the interviews say more in their cumulative impact than any plain narrative could. The book puts all previous studies of documentary into a new perspective, and will be required reading for anyone concerned with the subject" -- BOOK JACKETNotes: Reviewed in 'The Rise and Fall of the British Documentary: Grierson and the old boys' by William Guynn (Jump Cut, no. 15, 1977, pp. 28-29)ISBN: 0520028694Donation: Donated by James SabineContents: -- preface -- acknowledgments -- interviewees in order of appearance -- 1 the movement moves in -- 2 the spell of Flaherty -- 3 innovations at the Post office -- 4 Night Mail -- 5 the movement divides -- 6 war and the peak of achievement -- 7 the post war decline -- 8 reflections on past and future -- epilogue -- index --

Working against current thinking, Ilona Hongisto argues that the documentary does more than merely represent whatis-by capturing actual people, places, and events-but also expresses realities to come. She makes a case for the form as one that is not bound by predetermined ideas or rules, and through close readings of a heterogeneous body of films, she imbues the tradition with a new sense of urgency and vitality.

What role does visual evidence play in relation to a documentary's arguments about the world in which we live? Can a documentary be believed, and why or why not? How do documentaries abide by or subvert ethical expectations? Are mockumentaries a form of subversion? In what ways can the documentary be an aesthetic experience and at the same time have political or social impact? And how can such impacts be empirically measured? Pioneering film scholar Bill Nichols investigates the ways in which documentaries strive for accuracy and truthfulness, but simultaneously fabricate a form that shapes reality. Such films may rely on re-enactment to re-create the past, storytelling to provide satisfying narratives, and rhetorical figures such as metaphor and expressive forms such as irony to make a point. In many ways documentaries are a fiction unlike any other. With clarity and passion, Nichols offers close readings of several provocative documentaries including Land without Bread, Restrepo, The Thin Blue Line, The Act of Killing, and Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine as part of an authoritative examination of the layered approaches and delicate ethical balance demanded of documentary filmmakers"--Provided by publisher.Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.Contents: Documentary film and the modernist avant-garde -- Documentary reenactment and the fantasmatic subject -- Letter to Lynn Sachs about her film Investigation of a flame -- Breaking the frame, gender, violation and the avant-garde -- The coming of sound -- To see the world anew : revisiting the voice of documentary -- The sound of music -- The question of evidence : the power of rhetoric and the documentary film -- The terrorist event -- Remaking history : Jay Leyda, and the compilation film -- Restrepo : a case of inadvertent evidence -- The symptomatic biopic : Steve Jobs : the man in the machine -- Documentary ethics : doing the right thing -- Irony, paradox and the documentary : double meanings and double binds -- Letter to Errol Morris : feelings of revulsion and the limits of academic discourse -- Perpetrators, trauma and film -- San Francisco newsreel : collectives, politics, films -- The political documentary and the problem of impact.

Studies in documentary / [by] Alan Lovell and Jim Hillier London: Secker and Warburg [for] the British Film Institute, 1972.
Call No: 761(41) LOVAuthor: Lovell, Alan ; Hillier, Jim, joint author Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: Secker and Warburg [for] the British Film InstitutePubDate: 1972PhysDes: 176 p. illus., ports. 20 cmSubject: DOCUMENTARIES ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS. UK ; FREE CINEMA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1930's ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1940's ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1950's ; GRIERSON, JOHN ; JENNINGS, HUMPHREY ; ANDERSON, LINDSAY ; REISZ, KAREL ; RICHARDSON, TONY ; FIRES WERE STARTED (UK, Humphrey Jennings, 1943) Summary: "If the British cinema has a central tradition, a case can be made for it to be the documentary tradition. In this volume, Alan Lovell and Jim Hillier study the three main epochs of this tradition. Alan Lovell writes about the aims and theories of the seminal producer of documentaries in the 1930s, Hohn Grierson, showing how the theory became practice and with what results. His detailed and lucid account, supplemented by a full filmography, is likely to prove invaluable to students of the period. Jim Hillier takes the narative into the '40s and writes about the work of Humphrey Jennings, whose poetic imagination and gift for character transformed the reality of wartime England into contemplative statements: Fires Were Started remains one of the few genuine works of art to come from the cinema during the war. Finally, Alan Lovell describes the origins of the Free Cinema movement of the '50s, attempting to separate the individual talents (Tony Richardson, Karel Reisz, Lindsay Anderson) from the shared aesthetic and political assumptions of the time, and asks the question: How far was Free Cinema a genuine cause and how far was it a means of self-promotion for a limited group? This is not a book written to win friends among the film-making establishment, and its forthright view from the 1970s is likely to arouse passion in interested quarters." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Bibliography: p. 173-175ISBN: 0436099187; 0436099195 (pbk.)LON: 548482 548482

The technique of documentary film production / by W. Hugh Baddeley ; with a preface by Paul Rotha London: Focal Press, 1975.
Call No: 761 BADAuthor: Baddeley, Hugh W. Edition: 4th rev. edPlace: LondonPublisher: Focal PressPubDate: 1975PhysDes: 282 p. : ill. ; 23 cmSeries: The library of communication techniquesSubject: BUDGETING ; CAMERAS ; CINEMATOGRAPHY ; DISTRIBUTION ; DOCUMENTARIES ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; EDITING ; FILMMAKING ; INSURANCE, FILM ; LIGHTING ; LOCATION FINDING ; LOCATION SHOOTING ; MUSIC AND THE CINEMA ; PRE-PRODUCTION ; POST-PRODUCTION ; PRODUCTION ; PRODUCTION COSTS ; SCRIPTWRITING ; SOUNDTRACKS ; SOUND EDITING ; SOUND RECORDING Summary: "Hugh Baddeley has carried out further revisions of this book since the last edition which he enlarged by nearly forty pages. He has taken into consideration the needs of television and the text now contains interviews with well-known TV producers and key TV personnel. It deals with every aspect of documentary and factual film production. Intended for the working professional, the trainee, and the student, amateurs too will find the breadth and scope of the subject stimulating. Nowadays when the film serves not merely as a tool of entertainment, but increasingly as a tool with a variety of eminently practical jobs to do, more people than ever before become involved with film production.
Public relations officers, sales managers, television executives, those in charge of works film units, organisations using films for fund raising for charities, and members of expeditions will find here vital information. The means and methods of producing factual films are dealt with step-by-step from the initial idea to the making of release prints and their distribution. The typical problems of the "documentary" - shooting on distant and remote locations, as well as the difficulties of providing effective lighting outside the studio - are presented in practical terms. Sound recording, both under studio conditions and on location, is covered in detail. The techniques involved in laying and mixing multiple recordings to produce the final master track are described. Especially valuable are those practical suggestions that the author is able to offer from his own long personal experience. These range from budgeting and obtaining insurance cover to dealing with foreign customs." -- BOOK JACKETNotes: First ed. published 1963; Includes indexISBN: 0240509158; 0240509293 (pbk.)LON: 8735625 8735625URL status: URL: 'http://-'

Recognizing a current shift in interest from the trauma suffered by victims to that suffered by perpetrators, Raya Morag seeks to theorize this still under-studied field thus breaking the repression of this concept and phenomenon in psychoanalysis and in cinema literature. Taking as a point of departure the distinction between testimony given by the victim and confession made by the perpetrator, this pioneering work ventures to define and analyze perpetrator trauma in scholarly, representational, literary, and societal contexts.

Wildlife Films Philadelphia PA: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005.
Call No: 738.5 BOUAuthor: Bouse Derek Place: Philadelphia PAPublisher: University of Pennsylvania PressPubDate: 2005PhysDes: 23 cm ; 280 ppSubject: NATURAL HISTORY FILMS ; COUSTEAU, JACQUES ; SCIENCE IN FILMS ; DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; IMAX ; ADVENTURE FILMS Summary: Wildlife and natural history films have boomed in popularity and have become one of modern society's most important sources of information about the natural world. Yet they have been largely ignored by film and television critics and scholars - up until now. In Wildlife Films, Derek Bouse challenges conventional thinking about this neglected area of film and television, arguing that the wildlife genre has been underrated as an area of filmic creativity, yet overrated as a tool for science education and nature conservation. He argues that wildlife films owe a greater debt formally and thematically to Hollywood entertainment than to documentary. Indeed, throughout its history, the wildlife film's most salient attribute has been its proclivity for telling stories rather than for revealing scientific fact. Through storytelling devices, such as individualizing animal behaviour to engage audiences' emotions, wildlife films have become enormously successful at popularizing science. Wildlife Films asks, however, whether an overreliance on storytelling devices may also lead to distorted portrayals of evolutionary biology, and to depictions of animal family and social interactions that may sometimes be better reflections of our own values than of behavioural realities. Bouse argues that if the projection onto nature of our moral vision and our models of society comes at the expense of scientific accuracy, it is the predictable result of the "tyranny of formula" in popular film and television, where the pressures of convention are imposed by the economics of a competitive, ratings-driven industry. Wildlife Films considers the entire history of the wildlife and natural history genre, from its nineteenth-century origins, to the safari films of the 1920s and '30s, to the studio-bound television programs of the '50s, right up to today's animal "docu-soaps" and spectacular IMAX productions. It shows how a film genre unfairly dismissed by media historians and critics has given rise to a powerful global industry that is today helping to spearhead digital high-definition television. Tracing over 100 years of wildlife and natural history filmmaking, Wildlife Films shows that this is a significant force in broadcasting and a genre as vibrant and creative as any.
