On Documentary Style

18.02.2008


Germany Year Zero.

Week 18, 2008, at the University of Kent. This week’s lecture delivered by Dr. Catherine Grant for Introduction to Narrative Cinema 2: World Cinema is titled “Introduction to Section 2: Film as Document and Argument”.

These are the aims of my subsequent seminar:

• revisit the documentary and experiential qualities that film possesses;
• explore the connection between reality and narrative;
• analyse the approach of Germany Year Zero (Germania anno zero, 1948) to realism.
