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://-'

Each essay focuses on one or two important documentaries, engaging in questions surrounding ethics, ideology, politics, power, race, gender, and representation -- but always in terms of how they arise out of or are involved in the reading of specific documentaries as particular textual constructions. By closely reading documentaries as rich visual works, this anthology fills a void in the critical writing on documentaries, which tends to privilege production over aesthetic pleasure. As we perceive and comprehend the world through visual media increasingly, understanding the textual strategies by which individual documentaries are organized has become critically important. Together, the essays cover the significant developments in the history of the documentary, from the first commercially released feature, Nanook of the North (1922), to modern independent productions, such as An American Family (1973), Tongues Untied (1989), and Finding Christa (1991), and including important national and stylistic movements and various production contexts from the mainstream to the avant-garde. Seth Feldman places Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera (1929) within the context of constructivism and futurism; Vivian Sobchack discusses the strategies of Bunuel's Las Hurdas (Land without Bread, 1931) in relation to surrealism; and Joanne Hershfield explores Que viva Mexico! (1932) as the presentation of an exotic culture by a European director. Documenting the Documentary offers clear, serious, and insightful analyses of documentary films, and is a welcome balancebetween theory and criticism, abstract conceptualization and concrete analysis. --FROM PUBLISHER'S SITENotes: includes bibliiographic references and indexISBN: 0814326390Contents: Filmmaker as hunter / William Rothman -- Peace between man and machine / Seth Feldman -- Paradise regained / Joanne Hershfield -- Synthetic vision / Vivian Sobchack -- Art of national projection / William Guynn -- Mass psychology of fascist cinema / Frank P.

Avisar bases his discussion of these filmic efforts on the assumption that the Holocaust was a unique and unprecedented historical experience and that as such it poses special problems for those, particularly artists, who seek to reflect upon this historical event. He disagrees with theorists who believe that art cannot deal with the Holocaust in a meaningful way. This study examines how cinematic art meets the challenge of dealing with the extraordinary nature of the Holocaust. Avisar uses the concepts of representation, presentation, and comprehension to analyze a select number of Holocaust films. The cinematic medium offers a wide range of artistic visions of historical events. Avisar combines theoretical concepts peculiar to the nature of cinema with arguments on the uniqueness of Hitler's Final Solution in presenting detailed analyses of such remarkable films as Night and Fog, The Damned, The Great Dictator, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Shop on Main Street, The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, and Mr. Klein." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p.
