by Genevieve Jolliffe (Author)
There has been a huge resurgence in the popularity and production of Documentary Films over the past few years, and there is a new generation of film makers who want to be involved. In addition, the digital revolution has made this genre more accessible to the general film maker, and documentaries can now be shot cheaply and with high production values. "The Documentary Film Makers Handbook" features incisive interviews with dozens of industry professionals, on subjects as diverse as interview technique, the NBC News Archive, music rights, setting up your own company, pitching your proposal, camera hire, the British Film Council, editing and distribution. The book also includes in-depth case studies of some of the most successful documentary films of recent years, including "Mad Hot Ballroom", "Born into Brothels", "Touching The Void", and "Beneath The Veil and Amandla"!

Jolliffe and Zinnes, building on their previous book on guerrilla film making, turn to over 100 experts on all aspects of making documentaries, including finding subjects, getting funded, exercising appropriate ethics, dealing with censorship, distributing and, of course, the all-important budgeting and fundraising. They also offer case studies of two dozen significant films, including several for which the film makers actually did get to thank their moms and the academy. The result is both hopeful and realistic. --Sanford Lakoff
