Finding the theoretical space where cinema and philosophy meet,
Malin Wahlberg's sophisticated approach to the experience of
documentary film aligns with attempts to reconsider the premises of
existential phenomenology. The configuration of time is crucial in
organizing the sensory affects of film in general but, as Wahlberg
adroitly demonstrates, in nonfiction films the problem of managing
time is writ large by the moving image's interaction with social
memory and historical figures.
Wahlberg discusses a thought-provoking corpus of classical and
recent experiments in film and video (including Andy Warhol's
films) in which creative approaches to the time of the image and
the potential archive memory of filmic representation illuminates
meanings of temporality and time experience. She also offers a
methodological account of film and brings Deleuze and Ricoeur into
dialogue with Bazin and Mitry on the subject of cinema and
phenomenology.
Drawing attention to the cultural significance of the images'
imprint as a trace of the past, Documentary Time" brings to bear
phenomenological inquiry on nonfiction film while at the same time
reconsidering the existential dimensions of time that have always
puzzled humans.
Malin Wahlberg is a research fellow in cinema studies at Stockholm
University.
