After the Fact studies the terrain of Holocaust documentaries
subsequent to the turn of the twenty-first century. Until now most
studies have centered primarily on canonical films such as Shoah and
Night and Fog, but over the course of the last ten years filmmaking
practices have altered dramatically. Changing techniques, diminishing
communities of survivors, and the public's response to familiar, even
iconic imagery, have all challenged filmmakers to radically revise and
newly envision how they depict the Holocaust. Innovative styles have
emerged, including groundbreaking techniques of incorporating archival
footage, survivor testimony, and reenactment. Carrying wider
implications for the fields of Film Studies, Jewish Studies, and
Visual Studies, this book closely analyzes ten contemporary and
internationally produced films, most of which have hardly been touched
upon in the critical literature or elsewhere.
