A New History of Documentary Film 3º edição

A New History of Documentary Film, Third Edition provides a much-needed resource, considering the very rapid changes taking place within documentary media. Building upon the best-selling 2005 and 2012 editions, Betsy McLane keeps the same chronological examination, factual reliability, ease of use and accessible prose style as before, while also weaving new threads - streaming, animated documentaries, the impact of Black Lives Matter - into the discussion.

The book provides emphasis on archival and preservation history, present practices, and future needs for documentaries. Along with preservation information, specific problems of copyright and fair use, as they relate to documentary, are considered. Finally, A New History of Documentary Film includes recommended readings and important films and the end of each chapter, including the bibliography and appendices.
