Description
This course tracks the vital role of the camera in documentary, history, and the production of the real (archive, witness, testimony). From the invention of photography, to avant-garde explorations of cinema vérité, to the ‘intimate proximities’ of postcolonial hyper-realism, the course will progress through film screenings of major ethnographic filmmakers, artists and photographers. Post-documentary explorations of trauma, intercultural cinema hyper real ‘experiments with the truth’ conclude the course.
