About this product
Product Information
Now brought completely up-to-date, the new edition of this classic work on documentary films and film-making surveys the history of the genre from 1895 to the present day. With the myriad social upheavals over the past decade, documentaries have enjoyed an international renaissance; here Barnouw considers the medium in the light of an entirely new political and social climate. He examines as well the latest filmmaking technology, and the effects that video cassettes and cable television are having on the production of documentaries. And like the previous editions, Documentary is filled with photographs, many of them rare, collected during the author's travels around the world. Covering the full course of the documentary from Louis Lumiere's first effort to recent landmark productions such as Shoah, this book makes the growing importance of a unique blend of art and reality accessible and understandable to all film lovers. 'A helpful antidote to the spirit...Barnouw's style has clarity and precision that make his books delights to read.'--Film Quarterly Contents: Glimpse of Wonders: Prophet Images at Work: Explorer Reporter Painter Sound and Fury: Advocate Bugler Prosecuter Clouded Lens: Poet Chronicler Promoter Sharp Focus: Observer Catalyst Guerrilla Movement Acknowledgements Source Notes Bibliography Index

"The best in its field. I have used the first edition for almost twenty years to great effect. Barnouw is a masterful text writer."--Robert J. Allen, Seton Hall University, "This is the best historical overview of that major genre termed 'Documentary' or 'Non-fiction." --Edward S. Small, Phd., University of Kansas "Nothing compares, still." --Amy Villarejo, Cornell University "A reasonably priced introduction to a major area of film making which is all too often left in the shadow of drama. It is both thorough and readable." --Fred Caffney, South Kent College "First rate history--well written, with a coherent and constant focus on the power of the documentary film." --Tom Mullin, Eastern Washington University "The best in its field. I have used the first edition for almost twenty years to great effect. Barnouw is a masterful text writer." --Robert J. Allen, Seton Hall University "This is the basic book for anybody who wants to be a documentary filmmaker. Very good!" --Aleksander Mandis, New York University "A concise, accurate and indispensable book for any lover of documentary film. An indispensable reference and a worthy text for any course on the subject." --Lynne Jackson, St. Francis College "The best general history of documentary available. Concise, yet wide ranging and erudite. A valuable classroom text." --Michael Griffin, University of Minnesota Praise for Previous Editions: "A helpful antidote to the spirit....It presents sign posts to where documentary could be and where it may emerge. Barnouw's style has a clarity and precision that make his books delights to read." --Film Quarterly "The whole panorama has been richly researched and compactly organized into easy prose by Barnouw, writing at the peak of his competence." --Variety "Erik Barnouw puts film history in the mainstream of human history as few others have done before. He reminds us of the powers of film to instruct, exhilarate, excite and deceive, and shows how these powers have been used in our time." --Daniel J. Boorstin "Provides students with a foundation of knowledge from which they can learn, explore, and create." --Ronald A. Hoodak, Elmira College "Indispensable text. I have used Barnouw's book since 1975, and I'm grateful for each updated edition." --Bill Huie, Texas A&M University, Corpus Cristi "Well-written and wonderfully researched. Clear and concise!....I'm very excited using it." --Robert J. de Maria, Washington and Lee University "Superior text. [I've] used it for years and will continue to do so." --Professor E. Scott Bryce, St. Cloud State University "I will almost certainly use it when I next teach the class."--Professor Edward S. Small, University of Kansas "Very good overview."--Mike Duvall, Saugamon State University "This knowledgeable chronicle and advocacy of the documentary is marked with the poetry of Barnouw's own appreciation of the medium." --William Judson, University of Pittsburgh, "First rate history--well written, with a coherent and constant focus onthe power of the documentary film."--Tom Mullin, Eastern WashingtonUniversity, "The whole panorama has been richly researched and compactly organizedinto easy prose by Barnouw, writing at the peak of hiscompetence."--Variety, "A concise, accurate and indispensable book for any lover of documentary film.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
