The history of documentary has been one of adaptation and change,
as docu-mentarists have harnessed the affordances of emerging
technology. In the last decade interactive documentaries (i-docs)
have become established as a new field of practice within
non-fiction storytelling. Their various incarnations are now a
focus at leading film festivals (IDFA DocLab, Tribeca Storyscapes,
Sheffield DocFest), major international awards have been won, and
they are increasingly the subject of academic study. This anthology
looks at the creative practices, purposes and ethics that lie
behind these emergent forms. Expert contributions, case studies and
interviews with major figures in the field address the production
processes that lie behind interactive documentary, as well as the
political, cultural and geographic contexts in which they are
emerging and the media ecology that supports them. Taking a broad
view of interactive documentary as any work which engages with 'the
real' by employing digital interactive technology, this volume
addresses a range of platforms and environments, from web-docs and
virtual reality to mobile media and live performance. It thus
explores the challenges that face interactive documentary
practitioners and scholars, and proposes new ways of producing and
engaging with interactive factual content.
