Description

There has been a significant growth in autobiographical documentary films in recent years.

This innovative book proposes that the filmmaker in her dual role as maker and subject may act as a cultural guide in an exploration of the social world.

It argues that, in the cinematic mediation of memory, the mimetic approach in the construction of documentary films may not be feasible, and memory may instead be evoked elliptically through hybrid strategies such as critical realism and fictional enactment.

Recognizing that identity is formed by history and what 'goes on' in the world, the book charts the historical trajectory of the British independent filmmaking movement from the mid-1970s to the present growth of new online distribution outlets and new media through digital technologies and social media.
