Sinopsis

Directing the Documentary is the definitive book on the documentary form. Focusing on the hands-on work needed to make your concept a reality, it covers the filmmaking process from top to bottom, providing in-depth lessons on every stage of production from idea development, pre-production, production, and post-production, while also addressing the nuances of documentary aesthetics, ethics, and career-building.

The 8th edition’s new, user-friendly structure integrates what were previously divided introductory and advanced concepts into a single, unified volume that supports both comprehensive study and selective reference. It moves fluidly from context and concept to planning, production, editing, aesthetics, and professional practice―forming an organized and comprehensive guide that mirrors the filmmaker’s own evolution of process, understanding, and vocation. This edition features a wider diversity of films and directors, inclusive language and terminology, an expanded discussion of documentary ethics, and updated coverage of documentary distribution practices.

By combining expert advice on the storytelling process, the technical aspects of filmmaking, and commentary on the philosophical underpinnings of the art, this book provides the practical and holistic understanding you need to become a highly regarded, original, and ethical contributor to the genre. Ideal for both aspiring and established filmmakers, this book has it all.

He directed or edited more than 35 films, gave workshops in many countries, designed and led a multinational European documentary workshop for CILECT, won the International Documentary Association’s Scholarship and Preservation Award, and was also awarded the Genius/Career Achievement Award by the Chicago International Documentary Festival. He is the author of Developing Story Ideas and co-author of the enormously successful Directing: Film Techniques and Aesthetics.
