Dokumentarfilm

The first-ever authorised book from Oasis, one of the biggest bands on the planet.

Jørgen Leth er en institution i det danske filmmiljø og har bl.a. været en stor inspiration for Lars von Trier. Han har skabt en række stilskabende spille- og dokumentarfilm, f.eks. Det perfekte menneske (1967) Det gode og det onde (1975) Notater om kærligheden (1989)og de klassiske dokumentarfilm om cykling Stjernerne og vandbærerne, (1972) En forårsdag i Helvede (1974),om ballet At danse Bournonville Peter Martins - en balletdanserom fodbold Michael Laudrup - en fodboldspiller (1993)og om digtere Dansk litteratur (1989) Søren Ulrik Thomsen (1999)Sit egentlige internationale gennembrud fik han med De fem benspænd (2003), hvor Lars von Trier lod ham genindspille Det perfekte menneske fem gange.I tilfældets gaver samler han sine centrale tekster om at lave film: hans ideer om spilleregler, klipning, musik, det dumme kamera, det antropologiske blik og hans kontrakt med tilfældet.Bogen består af poetiktekster, tekster om og til udvalgte film og ikke mindst ideer til nye og urealiserede film.

Dansk dokumentarflms enfant terrible er han blevet kaldt, dokumentarflmskaberen Theodor Christensen, som var en af de væsentligste drivkræfter bag oprettelsen af Den Danske Filmskole i 1966. Theodor Christensen ville være fyldt 100 år den 6. april 2014, hvis ikke hans liv var endt alt for tidligt i 1967. Hans betydning for dansk flm, og ikke kun for dokumentarflm-genren, er ikke til at komme udenom. En grundig personlig biografi byggende på et kæmpe hidtil stort set ukendt materiale, også mange private fotos.

Den danske dokumentarfilm er en af dansk films største og mest vedvarende successer. Internationalt har den historisk haft stor bevågenhed og er gennem de seneste år blevet genstand for stadig større opmærksomhed hos det brede publikum. Og som Ib Bondebjerg viser i sin seneste bog, har den ikke mindst en solid historisk tradition som et eksperimentarium for det danske filmsprog. Virkelighedsbilleder er den første samlede fremstilling af den danske dokumentarfilms historie. Bogen har de filmiske genrer, instruktører og institutioner i centrum, men i Ib Bondebjerg fortæller også kultur- og socialhistorie.Ib Bondebjerg analyserer således dokumentarfilmens vilkår og udvikling i lyset af samfundsudviklingen, filmpolitiken og filmkulturen generelt – fra traditionsrige nationale institutioner som Statens Film Central fra 30’erne til den moderne, digitale og globaliserede filmkultur. I bogen analyserer Ib Bondebjerg desuden en lang række væsentlige dokumentarfilm med vægt på stil og genre og på filmens fortolkning af udviklingen i danskernes og det danske samfunds historie. Gennem analysen af dokumentarfilmene skildrer Bondebjerg udviklingen i periodens hverdagsliv, politik, kultur og historie, og han tegner et billede af et samfund, hvor udviklingen går fra mere traditionelle nationale billeder til globale billeder.

Despite Soho's rich cultural history, there remains an absence of work on the depiction of the popular neighbourhood in film. Soho on Screen provides one of the first studies of Soho within postwar British cinema. Drawing upon historical, cultural and urban studies of the area, this book explores twelve films and theatrically released documentaries from a filmography of over one hundred Soho set productions. While predominantly focusing on low-budget, exploitation films which are exemplars of British and international filmmaking, Young also offers new readings of star and director biographies, from Laurence Harvey to Emeric Pressburger, and in so doing enlivens discussion on filmmaking in a time and place of intense social transformation, technological innovation and growing permissiveness.

Call Me Lola is a moving photo essay by the acclaimed Israeli-American lens-based artist and documentarian Loli Kantor. For over twenty years, she combed through the family archives of her Polish-born father, a doctor and political activist. At the center of her work is her mother, Lola, who died in childbirth: a woman who manifests herself principally through images and stories rather than direct memories. The family documents and photographs that retrace the artist's personal history are shown alongside new camera-based works, resulting in a deeply subjective reflection on the most significant upheavals of the twentieth century: war and displacement, love and loss, trauma and grief. LOLI KANTOR (*1952) is an Israeli-American photographer whose work centers on personal and cultural memory. She lives and works in Fort Worth, Texas.

More than 30 years after the collapse of the German Democratic Republic, its cinema continues to attract scholarly attention. Documenting Socialism moves beyond the traditionally analyzed "feature film production" and places East Germany's documentary cinema at the center of history behind the Iron Curtain. Between questions of gender, race and sexuality and the complexities of diversity under the political and cultural environments of socialism, the specialist contributions in this volume cohere into an introductory milestone on documentary film production in the GDR.

A collection of original essays and previously untranslated critical writings on the renowned Brazilian documentary filmmaker, Eduardo Coutinho.

Vi bærer historien i os hele livet, ikke bare vores individuelle historie og erindring, vores familie- og slægtshistorie, men også den størrehistorie, vores liv er en del af. Erindringen er en vigtig del af vores liv og identitet. Den handler ikke bare om fortiden, men også om nutiden og fremtiden. Samfundet i dag er gennemsyret af film og andre medier, herunder også af erindringsbilleder og historiske fortællinger. De historiske fortællinger og erindringsbilleder, vi oplever og fascineres af, er i høj grad med til at påvirke os individuelt. De etablerer også en forbindelse til en større, kollektiv historie. Denne bog analyserer de centrale historiske genrer inden for både fiktive og dokumentariske filmfortællinger. Den påviser, hvordan film formår at gøre historien levende, og dermed være et væsentligt alternativ og supplement til historievidenskaben. Den filmiske historiefortælling skaber ikke bare en oplevelse af en historisk virkelighed. Den igangsætter også refleksioner over fortid og nutid. Bogens analyser fokuserer både på film, der bruger instruktørens egne barndoms- og familieerindringer som materiale for erindrings- og tidsbilleder, på film, der graver dybt i den historiske hverdagshistorie, og på film som skildrer kendte historiske personer. Den beskæftiger sig også med historiske film, hvor 2. verdenskrig er i centrum, og dermed med fortolkningskampen om store, centrale, historiske begivenheder.

The third volume in the Docalogue series, this book explores the significance of the documentary series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness (2020), which became 'must-see-TV' for a newly captive audience during the global Covid-19 pandemic.The series - a true-crime, tabloid spectacle about a murder-for-hire plot within the big cat trade - prompts interesting questions about which documentaries become popular in particular moments and why. However, it also raises important questions related to the medium specificity of documentary in the streaming era, as well as the ethics of both human and animal representation. By combining five distinct perspectives on the Netflix documentary series, this book offers a complex and cumulative discourse about Tiger King's significance in multiple areas including, but not limited to, animal studies, queer theory, genre studies, labor relations, and digital culture.Students and scholars of film, media, television, and cultural studies will find this book extremely valuable in understanding the significance of this larger-than-life true-crime documentary series.

Hybrid Documentary and Beyond focusses on the theories, production techniques, ethical implications and impact of hybrid documentaries.

In diesem Buch werden Dokumentarfilme analysiert, welche prominent die zeitgenössische Ernährung zum Thema haben. Die audiovisuelle Dokumentation wird dabei als Argumentation begriffen, das Zusammenspiel von bestimmten Inszenierungs-Modi in Sachen Bewegtbild und Ton als rhetorische Figuren, genauer als Tropen, welche jeweils bestimmte Persuasionen zu evozieren imstande sind. Frei nach Ansätzen aus dem Bereich der Neuen Rhetorik und der Psychoanalytischen Filmtheorie (u. a. Christian Metz) wird ein Modell, bestehend aus Metonymie, Synekdoche, Metapher, Katachrese und Ironie, entwickelt, um klären zu können, wie ¿Nahrungs-Aufnahmen¿ argumentationstechnisch oder vielmehr sophistisch, wenn nicht gar rabulistisch funktionieren.

Only second to the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide is the most audio-visually recreated genocide with approximately 200 films and documentaries produced in 39 countries between 1994 and 2021. Historical Media Memories of the Rwandan Genocide studies the construction, development, and recreation of the transnational historical media memory of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. This comprehensive work traces the international media image and the creation of historical memories of the Rwandan genocide, starting with the day-to-day television news reporting in 1994, and continues with analyzing how the genocide has been used and reproduced in films and documentaries on a global scale as well in Rwanda, which has created its own images of the genocide in film and television production to support a new national identity. Tommy Gustafsson is Professor of Film Studies at Linnaeus University, Sweden. His books include The Politics of Nordsploitation (with Pietari Kääpä, 2021), Masculinity in the Golden Age of Swedish Cinema (2014), and the anthologies Nordic Genre Films (EUP, 2015) and Transnational Ecocinema (2013), both co-edited with Pietari Kääpä.

In der Zeit des wirtschaftlichen Aufschwungs Deutschlands nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg waren die Wochenschauen im Vorprogramm jeder Kinovorstellung eine bedeutende Informationsquelle. Mit eindrucksvollen Bildern auf einer großen Leinwand ¿ begleitet von gesprochenem Kommentar, Musik und Geräusch ¿ gaben sie Orientierung und prägten die Erinnerung. In zahlreichen dokumentarischen Film- und Fernsehformaten werden bis heute einzelne Bilder oder kurze Sequenzen aus der Kino-Wochenschau als historische Belege, als Illustrationen oder zur Dramatisierung verwendet. Die außergewöhnlichen Prinzipien der Informationsvermittlung kommen dabei jedoch nicht mehr zur Geltung. Um das Publikum zu erreichen, war damals eine Mischung aus informativen Berichten und unterhaltenden Beiträgen unerlässlich. Die in diesem Buch vorgenommenen Fallanalysen spiegeln elementare Themenbereiche der Zeit des wirtschaftlichen Aufschwungs beider deutscher Staaten (1950-1965) wider. Neben den Prinzipien der audiovisuellenGestaltung wird auch die zentrale Vermittlungsstrategie herausgearbeitet. Transmediale und transnationale Aspekte, die hierbei eine Rolle spielen, weisen die Wochenschau als Teil eines (internationalen) Mediensystems aus.

Viewing the films of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub means looking at the construction of cinema itself: image, sound, performance, montage. Their work constitutes one of the most distinctive, beautiful, and politically radical oeuvres of modern cinema and has attracted the attention of a wide range of philosophers, filmmakers, and cineastes. Their sensual cinema of the eye and ear is as rich as the many texts and documents - musical, literary, and visual - that have served as the basis of individual works. Their films propose a Marxist critique of capitalism and suggest alternative ways of living.This volume grew out of the complete retrospective of the films of Huillet and Straub held in London in 2019 which all the authors attended. Editors Martin Brady and Helen Hughes are specialists in German, political, and documentary cinema.

Der Band bietet eine medientheoretisch ausgerichtete Perspektive auf das Space Race. Analysiert werden Spielfilme, Dokumentationen, Live-Berichterstattung im Fernsehen, Magazine, Briefmarken, Plakate, Konfettiparaden, die das Space Race in je spezifischer Weise ins Bild setzten und von ¿Ost¿ nach ¿West¿ und von ¿West¿ nach ¿Ost¿ transnational über den ¿Eisernen Vorhang¿ hinweg in Umlauf brachten. Gezeigt wird, wie sich die Berichterstattung über das Space Race dabei zwischen 1955 und 1975 als globalisierende Bilder-Verflechtungsgeschichte während des Kalten Krieges nacherzählen lässt.

This book illustrates a distinctive lineage of critical interventions in moving image culture and in the public sphere through the trajectories of a small number of film and video organizations established between the 1970s and the early 1980s in Western Europe and North America mainly by women and still operative today.¿The six case studies examined (Drac Màgic, Women Make Movies, Groupe Intervention Vidéo, Leeds Animation Workshop, bildwechsel, Centre Audiovisuel Simone de Beauvoir) have maintained a discrete yet continuing presence within an audiovisual industry and a cultural system dominated by institutionalized and corporate forms of production and distribution. Their longevity - quite a rarity in the independent circuit - makes a strong case for the sustainability of feminist/LGBTQ media activism in the public sphere, in spite of its low-key profile.¿This volume will be of interest to academicians of history and communication studies, feminist and LGBTQ topics, and gender-related cinematic culture.

This book is a cultural history of post-Wall urban, social, political, and cultural transformations in Berlin.Branding Berlin: From Division to the Cultural Capital of Europe presents a cultural analysis of Berlin's cultural production, including literature, film, memoirs and non-fiction works, art, media, urban branding campaigns, and cultural diversity initiatives put forth by the Berlin Senate, and allows readers to understand the various changes that transformed the formerly divided city of voids into a hip cultural capital. The book examines Berlin's branding, urban-economic development, and its search for a post-Wall identity by focusing on manifestations of nostalgic longing in documentary films and other cultural products. Building on the sociological research of urban branding and linking it with an interpretive analysis of cultural products generated in Berlin during that time, the author examines the intersections and tensions between the nostalgic views of the past and the branded images of Berlin's present and future.This insightful and innovative work will interest scholars and students of cultural and media studies, branding and advertising, urban communication, film studies, visual culture, tourism, and cultural memory.

The annexation of Eastern Europe to the Soviet sphere after World War II dramatically reshaped popular understandings of the natural environment. With an eco-critical approach, Cinema and the Environment in Eastern Europe breaks new ground in documenting how filmmakers increasingly saw cinema as a tool to critique the social and environmental damage of large-scale projects from socialist regimes and newly forming capitalist presences. New and established scholars with backgrounds across Europe, the United States, and Australia come together to reflect on how the cultural sphere has, and can still, play a role in redefining our relationship to nature.

UPDATED EDITION 2023This book explains how to conduct an interview in many different situations because many of the same principles are involved.

Be aware of their bodylanguage and their words. But do not allow your mind to start judging and analyzing. It is called mindful listening, beingthere in the present. If you start to drift away, let go of those thoughts. Listening in this way will give you all the informationyou need to respond. Communication is only possible with both parties in the loop."

Shows that while the GDR is generally seen as - and mostly was - an oppressive and unfree country, from late 1989 until autumn 1990 it was the "freest country in the world": the dictatorship had disappeared while the welfare system remained.Stephen Brockmann's new book explores the year 1989/1990 in East Germany, arguing that while the GDR is generally seen as - and was for most of its forty years - an oppressive and unfree country, from autumn 1989 until the autumn of 1990 it was the "freest country in the world," since the dictatorship had disappeared while the welfare system remained. That such freedom existed in the last months of the GDR and was a result of the actions of East Germans themselves has been obscured, Brockman shows, by the now-standard description of the collapse of the GDR and the reunification of Germany as a triumph of Western democracy and capitalism.Brockmann first addresses the culture of 1989/1990 by looking at various media from that final year, particularly film documentaries. He emphasizes punk culture and the growth of neo-Nazism and the Antifa movement - factors often ignored in accounts of the period. He then analyzes three later semiautobiographical novels about the period. He devotes chapters to dramatic films dealing with German reunification made relatively soon after the event and to more recent film and television depictions of the period, respectively. The final chapter looks at monuments and memorials of the 1989/1990 period, and a conclusion considers the implications of the book's findings for the present day.

The Classical Animated Documentary and Its Contemporary Evolution is the first book to provide an historical insight into the animated documentary. Drawing on archival research and textual analysis, it shows how this form, usually believed to be strictly contemporaneous, instead took shape in the 1940s. Cristina Formenti integrates a theoretical and a historical approach in order to shed new light on the animated documentary as a form as well as on the work of renowned studios such as The Walt Disney Studios, Halas & Batchelor, National Film Board of Canada and never before addressed ones, such as Corona Cinematografica. She also highlights the differences and the similarities existing among the animated documentaries created between the 1940s and the mid-1980s and those produced today so as to demonstrate how the latter do not represent a complete otherness in respect to the former, but rather an evolution.

This long-awaited study explores the creation of NBC-TV's landmark 1952-53 WWII documentary series, with particular attention to its evocative Rodgers-Bennett score.
