Animated Documentary, the first book to be published on this
fascinating topic, considers how animation is used as a
representational strategy in nonfiction film and television and
explores the ways animation expands the range and depth of what
documentary can show us about the world. On behalf of the Society
for Animation Studies(SAS), the Chair of the Jury announced the
book as the winner of the delayed 2015 SAS McLaren-Lambart Award
with the following words: 'Animated Documentary is a vital addition
to both animation scholarship and film studies scholarship more
broadly, expertly achieving the tricky challenge of synthesising
these two scholarly traditions to provide a compelling and
brilliantly coherent account of the animated documentary form. At
the heart of Roe's book is the conviction that animated documentary
"has the capacity to represent temporally, geographically, and
psychologically distal aspects of life beyond the reach of live
action" (p. 22). As a representational strategy, Roe details how
animated documentary can be seen to adopt techniques of "mimetic
substitution, non-mimetic substitution and evocation" in response
to the limitations of live action material (p. 26). Animated
Documentary will without doubt become an essential resource for
many years to come for anyone interested in the intersection of
animation and documentary.'
