A New History of Documentary Film
by
Betsy A. McLane
Call Number: 070.1809/2 (2nd ed.)
Publication Date: 2012
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, the future needs for documentaries and specific problems of copyright and fair use as they relate to documentary.
