About the Book:
The Art of Documentary Filmmaking....
This ambitious book from author, producer and director Michael Tobias draws together the voices of 40 renowned documentary filmmakers from around the world.
More than just a handbook of production tips (though it is that too), The Search For Reality addresses the elusive nature of documentary, from concept to finding distribution.
The contributors shed unique light on contemporary culture and aesthetics, the filmmaker's commitment to the documentary form, and the documentary production process from concept to marketplace.
They also probe provocative questions: What is reality in a documentary? Can and should there be objectivity in a documentary? What is the role of social advocacy in a documentary? How do new production technologies affect a documentary's message?
The Search For Reality is the first book that brings together an international roster of documentary filmmakers to speak about the very heart and soul of their art. It should prove to be an invaluable guide for both professionals and students, and will appeal to general filmgoers as well.
What people say:
"…a far-reaching yet comprehensive consideration of the issues confronting non-fiction imagemaking, from people who have been there, are there now, and are gearing up for what the future will bring. A very valuable collection of perspectives." — International Documentary
"As we go into the twenty-first century the documentary will not only be a form of telling us what has happened in the past, but will interpret the reality of events in the future." — David Wolper
