Documentary explorations : 15 interviews with film makers Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday, 1971.
Call No: 761 LEVAuthor: Levin, G. Roy Place: Garden City, N.Y.Publisher: DoubledayPubDate: 1971PhysDes: 420p. : ill. ; 21 cmSubject: DOCUMENTARY FILMS ; WRIGHT, BASIL ; ANDERSON, LINDSAY ; CAWSTON, RICHARD ; GARNETT, TONY ; LOACH, KENNETH ; FRANJU, GEORGES ; ROUCH, JEAN ; STORCK, HENRI ; VAN DYKE, WILLARD ; LEACOCK, RICHARD ; PENNEBAKER, D. 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://-'

William Rothman analyzes the philosophical and historical issues and themes implicit in these works. Designed to guide film students through the 'texts' of films that span the history of the documentary film movement, his readings also focus on the achievements of these works as films per se.

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://-'

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.
