This course sets out to examine the historical development of the documentary film, setting current trends, such as the proliferation of 24 hour news channels and increasing popularity of reality TV shows, within a historical, cultural and aesthetic lineage. This is done by analysing the evolution of the documentary film through an examination of certain important national and stylistic movements from the mainstream to the avant-garde.
