Description:

The course traces the evolution of the docu-mentary from its early fascination with daily life and the lyrical documentaries of the 1930s through WWII propaganda films and the so-cially conscious films of the mid-century to the investigative reporting and personal essay forms of recent decades. The course examines the documentary not only as a technological, political and social phenomenon, but also as a form of artistic, personal expression. The course emphasizes documentary's relationship to other non-fiction media such as journalism. (fall 2009, fall 2011)
