Documentary film festivals do more than provide a venue for watching films: they have the potential to foster critical thinking, especially toward mainstream media. The film festivals discussed in this book also help build a sense of community locally, as well as promote solidarity with people involved in struggles for social justice and ecological integrity around the world. Documentaries by independent filmmakers reveal stories ignored by mass media, stories at times tragic but more often than not inspiring. It can be said that documentary film festivals create a public space for citizens to listen together and to become informed on current issues in greater depth than newscast bulletins offer. This book shows how documentary films create a liminal space with transformative potential, a space that challenges assumptions, supports the development of empathy, and often stimulates engagement and action. In viewing documentaries together and engaging in critical reflection and dialogue, citizens can imagine alternative possibilities and consider solutions. Documentary Film Festivals: Transformative Learning, Community Building & Solidarity offers the voices of attendees, sponsors, and organizers who shared their thoughts and experiences of documentary film festivals and the impact on their views and engagement. Activists and organizers of various social movements who are seeking ways to inform and inspire will see evidence in this text that documentary film festivals are a means of drawing diverse audiences, engaging differences and respectfully promoting hope and preferred visions of the future. Documentary Film Festivals: Transformative Learning, Community Building & Solidarity includes concrete examples of creative and courageous struggles that have led to victories often ignored by the media. This book is bound to inspire.

Nora M. Alter argues that the essay film is a hybrid genre that fuses three major categories of film: feature, art, and documentary. Much like the written essay, its literary predecessor, the essay film draws on a variety of forms and approaches, fundamentally altering the shape of cinema. Alter traces the essay film's origins to early silent cinema, charting the genre's evolution with the advent of sound, its emergence as a recognized category of film in the postwar period, and the ways the genre developed in the later twentieth century. In addition to exploring the broader history of the essay film, Alter discusses the work of artists including Robert Smithson, Martha Rosler, Isaac Julien, John Akomfrah, Harun Farocki, and Hito Steyerl.

Si les films de Jia Zhangke ou Wang Bing sont aujourd'hui familiers des cinéphiles, l'apparition des documentaires indépendants dans la Chine du début des années 1990 avait de quoi surprendre. Pour la première fois émancipés des institutions de production et de distribution officielles, les réalisateurs indépendants ont effectué une rupture à la fois conceptuelle, esthétique et structurelle dans l'histoire du cinéma chinois. Cet ouvrage vise en premier lieu à replacer leurs films dans la continuité des œuvres et des théories qui les ont générés, afin de comprendre leur sens et leurs spécificités. Si les réalisateurs indépendants se servent de méthodes fondamentalement opposées à celles, didactiques et autoritaires, du documentaire officiel de propagande antérieur aux années 1980, ils assimilent dans le même temps les derniers développements de l'histoire mondiale de cette forme, et ceux des transformations du milieu artistique dont ils sont issus. De la cinéphilie de piratage aux festivals non officiels, les indépendants ont bâti en l'espace de deux décennies, non seulement un corpus de films conséquent, mais aussi des espaces et des modes de partage du cinéma qui réunissent à la fois des acteurs de l'art contemporain et de l'activisme. En examinant les pratiques de ces cinéastes, cet ouvrage révèle la diversité des styles au sein de ce mouvement qui promeut une esthétique fondée sur l'enregistrement de l'expérience subjective et la mise en scène de l'émotion

This book provides the first comprehensive overview of the global landscape of documentary film festivals, looking at its contemporary and future challenges. Contributors from across the globe reflect on how documentary has positioned itself within both internationally renowned and more alternative festivals, including IDFA (Netherlands), Cannes IFF (France), Sheffield Doc/Fest (UK), Dockanema (Mozambique), Ismailia (Egypt) and Zinebi (Basque Country, Spain), among others. With a special focus on industrial and curatorial developments, this second in a two-volume set looks at recent changes occurred in the festival circuit, such as the proliferation of markets and co-production forums, the inclusion of interactive and VR forms within their programs and the irruption of VOD platforms, and analyse how these affect the future of documentary aesthetics and its production/distribution contexts. This volume is organized in two sections: the first reflects on how the documentary festival circuit has become a key industry node for contemporary documentary and identifies new curatorial trends at documentary and major film festivals. The second gives voice to professionals working for festivals and institutions who collaborate with them, who share inside knowledge and concerns, regarding the future challenges to be faced by documentary in the near future. Aida Vallejo is Associate Professor at the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, Spain. Ezra Winton is a Visiting Scholar at the ReImagining Value Action Lab at Lakehead University, Canada.
