Hello all,
I hope this finds you and yours safe and well.
This is the second call for chapters on a collection focusing on poetic approaches to documentary filmmaking: The Art of Fact: The place of poetics in documentary filmmaking to be published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing UK. It is hoped that the book with be in print by the end of 2020 - as yet I do not have a formal deadline for the completion of chapters, but I would imagine it to be sometime around the end of July/August. I welcome interest from documentary filmmakers, as well as non-practitioners.
I will be contributing two chapters, the first will focus on the historical links between documentary filmmaking and the avant-garde of the early 20th Century. The second will focus on the creative use of sound design in documentary filmmaking. Both of these chapters will include reflections on my own documentary films, often made in collaboration with Dr. Geoffrey Cox of the University of Huddersfield. Please see below for details:
This book will explore how poetic approaches to documentary representation have helped develop factual filmmaking into an art form, rather than documentary merely being seen as 'sober discourse.' It will provide a historical overview of documentary poetics, as well as looking at contemporary practice.
Dr Keith Marley is a senior lecturer in Film Studies and Programme Leader of MA Film at Liverpool John Moores University. Keith is also an award winning documentary filmmaker; his film work focuses on the relationship between theory and practice in documentary filmmaking. His films can be classed as "poetic" interpretations of everyday life.
A Chapter should normally be no longer than 6000 words, and should be original and previously unpublished. If the work has already been published (as a journal article, or in conference proceedings, for example), the Publisher will require evidence that permission to be re-published has been granted.
For any informal queries, please contact me at: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
