Powerfully posing questions of ethics, ideology, authorship and
form, documentary film has never been more popular than it is
today. 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.
