Résumé : "Powerfully posing questions of ethics, ideology, authorship and form, documentary film has never been more popular than it is today. Edited by one of the leading British authorities in the field, 'The Documentary Film Book' is an essential guide to current thinking on documentary film. In a series of fascinating essays, key international experts discuss the theory of documentary, outline current understandings of its history (from pre-Flaherty to the post-Griersonian world of digital 'i-Docs'), survey documentary production (from Africa to Europe, and from the Americas to Asia), consider documentaries by marginalised minority communities, and assess its contribution to other disciplines and arts. Brought together here in one volume, these scholars offer compelling evidence as to why, over the last few decades, documentary has come to the centre of screen studies."--Page 4 of cover

Résumé : Le film Salesman suit les aventures tragi-comiques de quatre représentants en Bibles dans le Massachussetts, à Chicago et en Floride au cours de leur démarchage de porte à porte. Dans cette étude détaillée, J.M. Tyree situe le film dans son contexte historique et culturel, le mythe du rêve américain, à travers ces héros, qui, au fil du film, en deviennent les premières victimes. Il aborde les diverses innovations techniques et artistiques du film, l’équipe légère, la proximité avec les personnages filmés qui donnent au spectateur l’impression d’être dans le film. L’ouvrage contient un entretien avec Albert Maysles.

Résumé : This core teaching text provides a thorough overview of the recently emerged field of transnational film studies. Covering a range of approaches to analysing films about migrant, cross-cultural and cross-border experience, Steven Rawle demonstrates how film production has moved beyond clear national boundaries to become a product of border crossing finance and creative personnel. This comprehensive introduction brings together the key concepts and theories of transnational cinema, including genre, remakes, diasporic and exilic cinema, and the limits of thinking about cinema as a particularly national cultural artefact.
