This is the first casebook to focus exclusively on the nonfiction film maker: his revolutionary techniques, his particular conceptions of his work, his unique artistic strategies, his creative and practical problems. In creating this study Alan Rosenthal has interviewed film makers whose work lies on the active growing edge of the medium: director-producers, writers, cameramen, editors- men and women who have in recent years pushed back the boundaries of cinematic convention and profoundly influenced our notions of photography, acting, and editing. Some films are covered by interviews with several members of the creative team, whose differing perspectives help to shape the final work." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Interviews with film makersISBN: 0520018885LON: 218982

Pennebaker, 1967) Summary: "Nonfiction film is the first work to document the whole history of nonfiction film from the 1920s to the present day. 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) : ยช1.95; 0047910305LON: 1923477Contents: 1.
