In "Selfless Cinema?", Sarah Cooper maps out the power relations of
making, and viewing, documentaries in ethical terms. The ethics of
filmmaking are often examined on largely legalistic terms,
dominated by issues of consent, responsibility, and participants'
or film-makers' rights, but Cooper approaches four representative
French film-makers - Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, Raymond Depardon,
and Agnes Varda - in a far less juridical way, drawing on the
ethical philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. She argues that, in spite
of Levinas' iconoclastic, anti-ocular thinking, his concept of
visage is richly applicable to film, and especially to documentary.
