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. 606 $aDocumentary films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMusic, Dance, Drama & Film$2HILCC 606 $aFilm$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDocumentary films$xHistory and criticism 615 7$aMusic, Dance, Drama & Film 615 7$aFilm 676 $a070.1/8 700 $aMcLane$b Betsy A$01037899 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493196403321 996 $aA new history of documentary film$92459150 997 $aUNINA
