Course Content
This course aims to provide students with basic knowledge on documentary cinema. The famous and never-ending discussion on the definition of documentary will be the starting point. This discussion will be extended to other debates such as the problematization of truth in documentary, ethical issues in documentary filmmaking, sound as a constitutive component of documentary, and new forms of documentary filmmaking within new media.
