*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./
