Reviews
"The volume offers a rich and varied corpus of works that includes scholarly essays, film criticism, manifestos, interviews, letters, and personal recollections ... [the editors] have performed tremendous acts of scholarly service ... [presenting] a rich mosaic of writing on film form, politics, and practice that order the discursive field while still allowing the unruly documentary construct room to breathe." -- Tanya Goldman, Cinema Journal"This collection of crucial and often hard-to-find writings will be of immense help in identifying some of the key preoccupations of documentary and dispersing some of its most persistent myths." --David MacDougall, author of The Corporeal Image: Film, Ethnography, and the Senses"Kahana puts flesh to the bare bones of film history. These are essays that make the present vibrate with the steady drumbeat of a past we may not fully know but dare not entirely forget. It will serve as a standard reference for what has gone before and a powerful stimulus for what has yet to come well into the foreseeable future." --Bill Nichols, author of Introduction to Documentary, 2nd Edition"Gathering such a range of thought on non-fiction film theory and practice in one volume is simply phenomenal. This is a must-read book, giving precious insight into the ideologies, trends, and evolutions of the documentary genre throughout the world, from its emergence to the present." --Jean-Marie Teno, director of Africa, I Will Fleece You (Afrique, je te plumerai)"Kahana has curated a rambunctious oratorio of a reader, abundant with sharp discoveries and startling wisdom and surprising conversations across decades and borders. Every aspiring filmmaker should keep a copy in her backpack." --John Greyson, director of Fig Trees, "This collection of crucial and often hard-to-find writings will be of immense help in identifying some of the key preoccupations of documentary and dispersing some of its most persistent myths." --David MacDougall, author of The Corporeal Image: Film, Ethnography, and the Senses "Kahana puts flesh to the bare bones of film history.
