This book explores the ways in which film engages with historical
events and their impact on present-day landscapes, through a
spatial reading of film articulated through the process of charting
both creative and coherent cinematic topographies. As the authority
of the archive wrestles with the popularity of fictional
narratives, this book delves into the debate on the relationship
between fiction and documentary in hitherto neglected and
surprising contexts. It offers the reader a unique approach to the
study of archival footage and documentaries in relation to their
fictional counterpart, mainstream films set in the same locations
and addressing similar themes, including both live-action films and
animations. From images of the places taken during or soon after
the facts they represent to the intricacies of retrospective images
of the events made years later, the films and footage investigated
in this book offer a profound reflection on the ways in which we
remember, imagine and experience the past through the complex
mediation of film.
