The art of the observer is a personal guide to documentary
filmmaking, based on the author's years of pioneering work in the
fields of ethnographic and documentary cinema. It stands in sharp
contrast to books of academic film criticism and handbooks on
visual research methods, being based extensively on concrete
examples from the author's own filmmaking experience. The book
places particular emphasis on observational filmmaking and the ways
in which this approach is distinct from other forms of documentary.
It offers both practical insights and reflections on what it means,
in both emotional and intellectual terms, to attempt to represent
the lives of others. The book makes clear that documentary cinema
is not simply a matter of recording reality, but of artfully
organising the filmmaker's observations in ways that reveal the
complex patterns of social life. -- .
