The Boston and Cambridge area is notable for nurturing these approaches to documentary film via institutions such as the MIT Film Section and the Film Study Center, the Carpenter Center and the Visual and Environmental Studies Department at Harvard. Scott MacDonald uses pragmatism's focus on empirical experience as a basis for measuring the groundbreaking achievements of such influential filmmakers as John Marshall, Robert Gardner, Timothy Asch, Ed Pincus, Miriam Weinstein, Alfred Guzzetti, Ross McElwee, Robb Moss, Nina Davenport, Steve Ascher and Jeanne Jordan, Michel Negroponte, John Gianvito, Alexander Olch, Amie Siegel, Ilisa Barbash, and Lucien Castaing-Taylor. By exploring the cinematic, personal, and professional relationships between these accomplished filmmakers, MacDonald shows how a pioneering, engaged, and uniquely cosmopolitan approach to documentary developed over the past half century. 606 $aDocumentary films$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEthnographic films$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 610 $aaccomplished filmmakers. 610 $aboston. 610 $acambridge. 610 $acarpenter center. 610 $acosmopolitan approach. 610 $adocumentary movies. 610 $aed pincus. 610 $aethnography. 610 $afilm and television. 610 $afilm study center. 610 $agroundbreaking films. 610 $ahistory of film. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ainfluential filmmakers. 610 $ajohn marshall. 610 $amichel negroponte. 610 $amiriam weinstein. 610 $amit film section. 610 $anina davenport. 610 $aperforming arts. 610 $apersonal documentary. 610 $aprofessional relationships. 610 $arobb moss. 610 $arobert gardner. 610 $atimothy asch. 610 $avisual and environmental studies department at harvard. 615 0$aDocumentary films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEthnographic films$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a070.1/8 686 $aPER004000$2bisacsh 700 $aMacDonald$b Scott$f1942-$0835457 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792022803321 996 $aAmerican ethnographic film and personal documentary$93780949 997 $aUNINA
