Description
Regarding the Real Cinema, Documentary, and the Visual Arts by Des O'Rawe explores the aesthetic connections between documentary film and various visual arts. This book examines how certain filmmakers use associative and fragmentary techniques to subvert traditional notions of realism in documentary. The author considers the work of artists whose preferred medium is not film, but rather other forms such as animation, photography, or painting. By analyzing these works alongside documentary films, O'Rawe re-evaluates the influence of modern art on the documentary genre. This book charts a fascinating trajectory through the careers of key filmmakers, including Len Lye and Hiroshi Teshigahara, to shed new light on the documentary's role in questioning its own narratives.
