What key concerns are reflected in documentaries produced in and about
the United States? How have documentaries engaged with competing
visions of US history, culture, politics, and national identity?
This book examines how documentary films have contributed to the American public sphere
-
creating a kind of public space, serving as sites for community-building, public expression,
and social innovation.
Geiger
focuses on how documentaries have been significant in
forming ideas of the nation, both as an imagined space and a real place.
Moving from the dawn of cinema to the present day, this is the first full-length study to
focus on the extensive range and history of American non-fiction filmmaking. Combining
comprehensive overviews with in-depth case studies,
Geiger
maps American documentary s
intricate histories, examining the impact of
pre-
and early cinema, travelogues, the avant-
garde,
1930s
social documentary, propaganda, direct cinema, postmodernism, and new
documentary. Offering detailed close analyses and fresh insights, this book provides
students and scholars with a stimulating guide to American documentary, reminding us of
its important place in cinema history.
