Claiming the real : the Griersonian documentary and its legitimations / Brian Winston London: British Film Institute, 1995.
Call No: 761 WINAuthor: Winston, Brian CorpAuthor: British Film InstitutePlace: LondonPublisher: British Film InstitutePubDate: 1995PhysDes: 301 p. ; 24 cmSubject: DOCUMENTARIES ; ETHICS AND THE CINEMA ; REALISM IN FILMS ; THEORY ; CINEMA VERITE ; CINEMA-DIRECT ; GRIERSON, JOHN ; WISEMAN, FREDERICK ; RIEFENSTAHL, LENI Summary: "Recent technological developments in the field of image manipulation mea that the 'evidence' of the photograph is no longer incontrovertible. The camera, it seems, can lie. Alterations may noe be made to still or moving images which materially change their meaning yet which are undetectable.
What does this do to the status of the documentary film? In this informed and lively book Brian Winston rewrites the history of the documentary to take account of technological change. He subjects the great figures of the past - Grierson, Flaherty, Dziga-Verov - to a searcing critique, and examines both the principles and practice of the major movements of documentary, such as cinema verite. He offers his own definition of the essential difference between fiction film and documentary, and identifies the fundamentally ethical basis of any film practice which attempts to capture the 'truth'" -- Taken from the back cover.Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 277-294) and indexISBN: 0851704638 (cased); 0851704646 (pbk)LON: 11552015URL status: URL: 'http://-'

It displays the rich diversity of film production in the country, and in doing so highlights a number of specific contexts - Maori, documentary and short filmmaking, literary adaptations, the development of the national Film Commission and Archive, marketing and censorship, in addition to explorations into the place of bicultural relations, spirituality, masculinity and disability - that have created a cinema of global significance. Featuring critical accounts of internationally-acclaimed features like The Piano and Once Were Warriors, as well as the growth of the national infrastructure that made such films possible, Contemporary New Zealand Cinema is the most thorough study available of a vibrant filmmaking culture. The book also includes a fully comprehensive filmography detailing all New Zealand feature and television films."--BOOK JACKETNotes: Filmography: p.[239]-253

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

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.

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?

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://-'

Many scholars have linked the origins of the discipline to late-1960s developments in the academy such as structuralist theory and student protest. Yet this collection reveals the broader material and institutional forces—both inside and outside of the university—that have long shaped the field. Beginning with the first investigations of cinema in the early twentieth century, this volume provides detailed examinations of the varied social, political, and intellectual milieus in which knowledge of cinema has been generated. The contributors explain how multiple instantiations of film study have had a tremendous influence on the methodologies, curricula, modes of publication, and professional organizations that now constitute the university-based discipline. Extending the historical insights into the present, contributors also consider the directions film study might take in changing technological and cultural environments. -- Publisher descriptionNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780822342892Contents: The Academy and Motion Pictures / Lee Grieveson, Haidee Wasson

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.

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 --

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
