Description
New Documentary by Stella Bruzzi offers a fresh perspective on the documentary film genre. This second edition features updated chapters and a new chapter on contemporary cinema releases, including films like Capturing the Friedmans and Être et avoir. Bruzzi's approach to documentary as an activity based on performance rather than observation provides a unique insight into the fundamental shifts in the genre. The book also explores the work of influential practitioners, such as director Michael Apted and producer Stephen Lambert, and examines topics like gender identity, queer theory, and spectatorship. With its comprehensive discussion of modern observational documentary, including docusoaps and reality television, New Documentary provides a thorough analysis of the non-fiction film.
