Hybrid Documentary and Beyond
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-86139-1 (ISBN)
Hybrid Documentary and Beyond explores the theories, production techniques, ethics, and impact of hybrid documentaries.
Often described as simply a blend of fact and fiction, the author challenges this definition of hybrid documentary through an interrogative examination of not only why and how they are made, but also of their real-world impact upon subjects, filmmakers and audiences. Combining theoretical analysis withe real-world case studies and interviews with luminaries in the field she effectively demonstrates that hybrid documentaries can be creatively liberating for all involved and why their appeal and impact are growing globally.
Offering a fresh and bold perspective on hybrid documentary filmmaking that goes far beyond the existing canon on the subject, this book will be an essential resource for practitioners, scholars and students working in the areas of media arts and production, film studies and documentary.
Professor Rachel Landers is a filmmaker, author and historian. She is currently head of Media Arts and Production and Animation Production at The University of Technology, Sydney.
