The Archive Effect: Found Footage and the Audiovisual Experience of History examines the problems of representation inherent in the appropriation of archival film and video footage for historical purposes. Baron analyses the way in which the meanings of archival documents are modified when they are placed in new texts and contexts, constructing the viewers experience of and relationship to the past they portray. Rethinking the notion of the archival document in terms of its reception and the spectatorial experiences it generates, she explores the archive effect as it is produced across the genres of documentary, mockumentary, experimental, and fiction films. This engaging work discusses how, for better or for worse, the archive effect is mobilized to create new histories, alternative histories, and misreadings of history. The book covers a multitude of contemporary cultural artefacts including fiction films like Zelig, Forrest Gump and JFK, mockumentaries such as The Blair Witch Project and Forgotten Silver, documentaries like Standard Operating Procedure and Grizzly Man, and videogames like Call of Duty: World at War. In addition, she examines the works of many experimental filmmakers including those of Pter Forgcs, Adele Horne, Bill Morrison, Cheryl Dunye, and Natalie Bookchin.

"The archive has multiplied and diversified; our relationship with historical reality has changed. This transforms The Archive Effect into a multi-disciplinary text, since it responds to the appropriatism in audiovisual arts, which, in one way or another, concern all of us. The British historian Eric Hobsbawn wrote that 'technology is able to explain a story in thirty seconds.' A guide like The Archive Effect is needed to understaand those fragments of history." - Csar Ustarroz, Found Footage Magazine
