Lecturer Issues in Documentary, FASS, University of Technology Sydney, 2002 - 2013
This subject introduces students to contemporary debates in documentary through a study of documentary history, genre, ethics and changing forms. It develops skills in critically analysing documentary film and its evolution from silent film through to the digital online environment. Students present critical documentary case studies via screenings and analysis using contemporary documentary film scholarship. Students develop documentary proposals for film, television and/or the online environment from research to treatment or first draft stage. Students participate in project workshops to discuss their proposals and essays. Students may also produce in-depth critical analyses of documentary film(s) and/or contemporary issues in documentary.
