Post-1990 Documentary

This new book provides graduate students, scholars and professionals with critical and detailed insights into recent, yet significant, independent documentary makers and their varied works, practices and uses.

Camille Deprez and Judith Pernin have gathered together a collection of in-depth case studies which raise many critical questions relating to the field of documentary film studies. The breadth and scope of this book, the novelty of approaches and topics contained within it, the variety of contexts explored, and arguments raised, will be of interest to film scholars, students and practitioners alike.
