The Documentary Film Movement

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

The first anthology to cover the documentary film movement of the 1930s and 40s as exemplified in modern British film culture, this book offers generous extracts from the writings of Jennings, Alberto Cavalcanti and Basil Wright. Each section is accompanied by short commentaries and a photograph of each figure. A full introduction describes the movement's history from 1927 to 1950 and the types of films made, relating these to other British film genres and contemporary debates on national cinema.
