Documentary film : a very short introduction / by Aufderheide, Patricia,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 140-146) and index.Defining the documentary. Naming -- Form -- Founders -- Cinema verité -- Subgenres. Public affairs -- Government propaganda -- Advocacy -- Historical -- Ethnographic -- Nature -- A note on history and scholarship -- One hundred great documentaries."In this concise, crisply written guide, Patricia Aufderheide takes readers along the diverse paths of documentary film history and charts the lively, often fierce debates among filmmakers and scholars about the best ways to represent reality and to tell the truths worth telling. Beginning with an overview of the central issues of documentary filmmaking, Aufderheide focuses on several of its key subgenres, including public affairs films, government propaganda (particularly works produced during World War II), historical documentaries, and nature films. Her thematic approach allows readers to enter the subject matter through the kinds of films that first attracted them to documentaries, and it makes connections between eras, as well as revealing documentary's core controversies involving objectivity, advocacy, and bias. Interwoven throughout are discussions of the ethical and practical considerations that arise with every aspect of documentary production. A particularly useful feature of the book is an appended list of "100 great documentaries" that anyone with a serious interest in the genre should see."--Cover.

Silent film was genuinely global, with countries all around the world using cinema to tell stories and develop their own industries. Sound was introduced to cinema in the late 1920s, but with elements of silent film still around today, there is an argument for it never having ended"--
