Film Quarterly*
Now brought completely up to date, thé new édition of this classic work on documentary films and filmmaking surveys thé history of thé genre from 1895 to thé présent day. With myriad social up-heavals over thé past décade, documentaries hâve enjoyed an in¬ternational renaissance hère Barnouw considers thé médium in thé light of an entirely new political and social climate. He examines as well thé latest filmmaking technology and thé effects that video cassettes and cable télévision are having on thé production of doc¬umentaries. Like thé previous éditions, Documentary is filled with photographs, many of them rare, collected during thé author's trav-els around thé world. Covering thé full course of thé documentary from Louis Lumière's first effort to such récent landmark produc¬tions as Shoah and thé Ken Burns Civil War séries, this book makes thé growing importance of a unique blend of art and reality acces-sible and understandable to ail film lovers.
