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. This book is both an original contribution to the field of film studies and also suitable for use as a text for college level courses on documentary film and broader film history courses." -- BOOK COVER Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 211-213) and index ISBN: 0521456819 (pbk); 0521450675 (hbk) Order Received: 1997 LON: 96014029; 12242459 URL status: URL: 'http://-' Checked: 31/08/2021 12:36:54 PM Status: Error Details: Failed to send HTTP request (WinHttpSendRequest) More info
