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?

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 filming of modern life : European Avant-Garde Film of the 1920s / by Malcom Turvey Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press, c2011.
Call No: 771(4) TURAuthor: Turvey, Malcolm Source: USPlace: Cambridge, MassachusettsPublisher: MIT PressPubDate: c2011PhysDes: xii, 213 p. : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: AVANT-GARDE FILMS ; AVANT-GARDE FILMS. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ; EUROPEAN CINEMA ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. 1920's ; BALLET MECANIQUE, LE (FR, Fernand Leger, 1924) ; MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA (UR, Dziga Vertov, 1929) ; PARIS QUI DORT (FR, Rene Clair, 1923) ; CHIEN ANDALOU, UN (FR, Luis Bunuel, 1928) Summary: "In the 1920s, the European avant-garde embraced the cinema, experimenting with the medium in radical ways. Painters including Hans Richter and Fernand Leger as well as filmmakers belonging to such avant-garde movements as Dada and surrealism made some of the most enduring and fascinating films in the history of cinema. In The Filming of Modern Life, Malcolm Turvey examines five films from the avant-garde canon and the complex, sometimes contradictory, attitudes toward modernity they express: Rhythm 21 (Hans Richter, 1921), Ballet mecanique (Dudley Murphy and Fernand Leger, 1924), Entr'acte (Francis Picabia and Rene Clair, 1924), Un chien Andalou (Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel, 1929), and Man with a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929). All exemplify major trends within European avant-garde cinema of the time, from abstract animation to "cinema pur." Turvey argues that these films share a concern with modernization and the rapid, dislocating changes it was bringing about. He critically addresses major theories of the avant-garde and its relation to modern life, including the claim that film is "distracting" in the same way as a modern environment, and he challenges the standard view of the avant-garde as implacably opposed to bourgeois modernity. In fact, he writes, not only was there considerable disagreement among avant-garde movements about what aspects of modern life needed transformation, but the positions of individual avant-garde artists toward modernization were complex, even contradictory. All five films that Turvey analyzes embrace and resist, in their own ways, different aspects of modernity. Although much has been written about each of these films, The Filming of Modern Life is the first book to examine them together, illuminating their shared concern with modernization and its consequences." -- BOOK JACKETNotes: "An October book"; Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780262015189Contents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction -- Abstraction and rhythm 21 -- "Cinema pur" and Ballet me´chanique -- Dada, Entr'acte and Paris qui dort -- Surrealism and Un chien andalou -- City symphony and Man with a movie camera -- Film, distraction, and modernity -- notes -- index --

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.
