A New History of Documentary Film, Second Edition offers a much-needed
resource, considering the very rapid changes taking place within
documentary media. Building upon the best-selling 2005 edition, Betsy
McLane keeps the same chronological examination, factual reliability,
ease of use and accessible prose style as before, while also weaving
three new threads - Experimental Documentary, Visual Anthropology and
Environmental/Nature Films - into the discussion. She provides
emphasis on archival and preservation history, present practices, and
future needs for documentaries. Along with preservation information,
specific problems of copyright and fair use, as they relate to
documentary, are considered. Finally, A History of Documentary Film
retains and updates the recommended readings and important films and
the end of each chapter from the first edition, including the
bibliography and appendices. Impossible to talk learnedly about
documentary film without an audio-visual component, a companion
website will increase its depth of information and overall usefulness
to students, teachers and film enthusiasts.
