Product Description

Review
"Was television 0;good1; for documentary? Hard to believe this question was once posed, since television has so clearly become the dominant institution controlling what counts as 0;documentary1;. This shift is well reflected in Alan Rosenthal and John Corner7;s thoughtful and remarkably comprehensive anthology, which is a substantially revised version of Rosenthal7;s original 1987 collection. In come welcome discussions not only of 0;docudrama1; and 0;dramadoc1; - subtly different genres - and timely reflections on the spread of 0;docusoap1; as the documentary impulse finds new ways of staying on primetime television." --Ian Christie, Professor of film and media history, Birkbeck, University of London

4.0 out of 5 stars A great collection of viepoints, 1 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Although this is not the single best book on documentary film, it is arguably the best collection of essays gathered on the subject. A wide range of viewpoints are represented, and the organization is logical and easily understood. This was a text in a documentary production course I took as a graduate student, and now that I will be teaching such a course, I plan to use it as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still relevant for today's documentarist., 14 Jun 1998
By A Customer
The articles Rosenthal collected are the best in the field. The documentary needs more theoretical input like this to give the new film makers a better understanding of the art of documentary film making.

1.0 out of 5 stars Uninformed, often silly., 3 Feb 1997
By A Customer
Rosenthal comes at his subject from the point of view of a hack, and it shows. Depressing.
