Course Description

Students are introduced to the genres of nonfiction film - documentary, docudrama, and historical features - and to the theory, history, and ideology of fact-based film. The focus is not a given film's historical accuracy so much as the writers' and directors' strategies of representation, which profoundly affect the audience's perceptions.
