Documentary productions encompass remarkable representations of
surprising realities. How do documentaries achieve their ends? What
types of documentaries are there? What factors are implicated in
their production? Such questions animate this engaging study.
"Documentary Screens" provides a comprehensive and critical
introduction to the formal features and histories of central
categories of documentary film and television. Among the categories
examined are autobiographical, indigenous and ethnographic
documentary, compilation films, direct cinema and cinema verite and
television documentary journalism. The book also considers recent
so-called popular factual entertainment and the future of
documentary film, television and new media. This provocative and
accessible analysis situates wide-ranging examples from each
category within the larger material forces which impact on
documentary form and content. The important connection between
form, content, and context explored in the book constitutes a new
and lively "documentary studies" approach to documentary
representation.
