American Documentary Filmmaking in the Digital Age - Depictions of War in Burns, Moore, and Morris (Paperback): Lucia... American Documentary Filmmaking in the Digital Age - Depictions of War in Burns, Moore, and Morris (Paperback)
Lucia Ricciardelli
R1,443 Discovery Miles 14 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

American Documentary Filmmaking in the Digital Age examines the recent challenges to the conventions of realist documentary through the lens of war documentary films by Ken Burns, Michael Moore, and Errol Morris. During the twentieth century, the invention of new technologies of audiovisual representation such as cinema, television, video, and digital media have transformed the modes of historical narration and with it forced historians to assess the impact of new visual technologies on the construction of history. This book investigates the manner in which this contemporary Western "crisis" in historical narrative is produced by a larger epistemological shift in visual culture. Ricciardelli uses the theme of war as depicted in these directors' films to focus her study and look at the model(s) of national identity that Burns, Morris, and Moore shape through their depictions of US military actions. She examines how postcolonial critiques of historicism and the advent of digitization have affected the narrative structure of documentary film and the shaping of historical consciousness through cinematic representation.

"Illusions of Stillness and Movement: An Introduction to Film and Photography" is a collection of readings, interviews, historical surveys, visual analyses, and theoretical discussions on the relationship between photography and film.
The book provides an interdisciplinary, theoretical framework and a historical context for understanding the full impact of media on contemporary culture. It examines the distinct ways we understand the meaning of "cinematic" and "photographic"u from the perspective of the artistic humanities to see what distinguishes and what connects the two.
Students learn how photography and cinema work together to create stories, and bring unnoticed elements and hidden meanings to the forefront of the viewing experience. They explore photographic realism, the limits media impose on users in terms of realistic representation, and the notion of photographic truth in the digital age.
"Illusions of Stillness and Movement" can be used in introductory courses on film and photography, classes on the history and theory of cinema and photography, and those that address visual culture.
Lucia Ricciardelli is an assistant professor in the School of Film and Photography at Montana State University in Bozeman, where she teaches, photography, film and documentary studies and mentors graduate students in the M.F.A. program in Science and Natural History Filmmaking.
