*Introduction to Documentary, Third Edition***
The third edition of Bill Nichols’s best-selling text provides an
up-to-date introduction to the most important issues in documentary
history and criticism. A new chapter, "I Want to Make a Documentary:
Where Do I Start?" guides readers through the steps of planning and
preproduction and includes an example of a project proposal for a film
that went on to win awards at major festivals. Designed for students in
any field that makes use of visual evidence and persuasive strategies,
/Introduction to Documentary /identifies the genre’s distinguishing
qualities and teaches the viewer how to read documentary film. Each
chapter takes up a discrete question, from "How did documentary
filmmaking get started?" to "Why are ethical issues central to
documentary filmmaking?" Here Nichols has fully rewritten each chapter
for greater clarity and ease of use, including revised discussions of
earlier films and new commentary on dozens of recent films from The Cove
to The Act of Killing and from Gasland to Restrepo.
*Bill Nichols*is Professor Emeritus of Cinema at San Francisco State
University. He is author of /Representing Reality: Issues and Concepts
in Documentary /(IUP), /Blurred Boundaries: Questions of Meaning in
Contemporary Culture/ (IUP), and /Speaking Truths with Film: Evidence,
Ethics, Politics in Documentary./
