Written in a chronological format, each chapter concludes with a list of the key documentaries in that particular time period or genre, and there are appendices listing all the winners of the Academy Award for Best Documentary, as well as the winners of the Grierson Award. _bMajor new history of a film genre that has recently been breaking box office records. This is a thorough and definitive survey/history of documentary films. Concentrating mainly on the output of the US, the UK, and Canada, the authors outline the origins of the form and then show its development over the next several decades. The book is completely up-to-date in discussing films like "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer", and in its coverage of IMAX movies and the development of cable and satellite television outlets. Written in a simple, chronological format, the text is straightforward and full of content, information, and historical perspective. (There is hardly any academic jargon or high-level theory.) Each chapter concludes with a list of the key documentaries in that particular time period or genre, and there are helpful appendices listing all the winners of the Academy Award for Best Documentary, as well as the winners of the Grierson Award.
