Product Description

Documentary Film: A Very Short Introduction

Questions for Consideration and Discussion:

  • What are the obligations of a documentarian to provide the viewer with a balanced picture?

  • How do you know “what a documentary looks like”? What are those conventions that define a documentary? Are their associations positive or negative for you?

  • Documentary filmmaking is an art form as well as an informative medium. How much does documentary differ from other informative genres such as journalism or nonfiction books in this regard?

  • Documentarians often have extended relationships with their subjects. How has this relationship been defined by ethnographic filmmakers, who work with subjects in very different cultures from their own?

  • In many countries, documentary filmmaking has been subsidized with tax dollars. What has motivated these governments to support filmmakers? What have been the effects of government subsidy on production?

  • What’s the difference between a point-of-view public affairs documentary and an advocacy film?
