Download Documentary Superstars: How Today's Filmmakers Are Reinventing the Form AudioBook Free

The first booklet to track the go up of documentaries as mainstream entertainment.... When does documentaries get glamorous? Documentary Superstars looks at the history of documentaries and traces their change from hands-off to in your face. Exclusive interviews with Michael Moore, Morgan Spurlock, Errol Morris, George Clooney, Sacha Baron Cohen, Morgan Freeman, Al Gore, plus more of the biggest brands in the field show the impact of the documentary style on mainstream videos and on our population. From cinéma vérité to the inserted narrator, from the "balanced" viewpoint to the charismatic commentator (à la Fahrenheit 9/11), to the documentarian starring in his own narrative (just as Supersize Me) to filmmakers' innovative use of cameos, pseudocameos, and archival video footage, and much more, Documentary Superstars examines the way in which this evolving art form has altered - and altered us.
