0.0

The Open Frame Reader is an introductory collection of essays by filmmakers as well as non-practitioners working on the agendas of the documentary genre. It highlights the concerns and issues surrounding the creative and technology processes as well as institutional framework within which they operate. Through a wonderful miscellany of imagery, analogy, allegory and personal musings, the book explores cinematography, editing, sound recording, research and the relationship of the documentary with its viewers. It goes beyond discussing technique, technology and creative construction to address issues such as censorship, copyright, dissemination and distribution
