Not all documentary films and videos are sober depictions of the
real world. Documentary representations can present expressive,
entertaining and spectacular images. This book examines such
innovative approaches as they occur within the process of
"documentary display"--a practice which emphasizes the visual
attractions of documentary representation. Works of documentary
display explore modes of exhibitionistic "showing" in which
sensation is frequently the vehicle of cognition and knowledge.
Such a display is analyzed within the popular and prominent forms
of found-footage film, "rockumentary," the city film, nonfiction
surf film and video and certain views of natural science topics.
This accessible and informed study, with its focus on entertaining,
popular, spectacular and sensational forms of representation, makes
an important contribution to theoretical analyses of documentary
film and video.
