In Imaging Reality: The Faber Book of Documentary, Oscar-winning documentary-maker Kevin Macdonald (One Day in September, Touching the Void) and leading broadcaster/historian Mark Cousins (The Story of Film) offer an expanded, revised edition of their 'definitive, inspirational' (Independent) compendium on the roots and history of the documentary film.Imagining Reality takes the reader on a tour of the evolution of documentary film as an increasingly vibrant, polemical, experimental and entertaining form. It gathers a wide-ranging collection of writings by and about such groundbreaking documentary-makers as Vertov, Flaherty, Marcel Ophuls, Chris Marker, Kieslowski, Claude Lanzmann, and Nick Broomfield. The story is carried up to date by attention to the success documentaries have had among mainstream movie audiences in recent years, including Michael Moore's Bowling For Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, The Buena Vista Social Club, Spellbound, Capturing The Friedmans, Être Et Avoir, and The Fog Of War.

Vad betyder Ingmar Bergman i dag?
Texterna i denna samling är skrivna av författare och filmare, för vilka Bergmans filmer på ett eller annat sätt gjort ett personligt avtryck. Alla skriver de om varsin film som slagit an och rört upp känslor, och om sin bild av Bergman. Här möts lust och hat, men även en uppmuntran för nya och gamla generationer att ta sig an verken.
Medverkande: Jon Asp, Tomas Bannerhed, Stig Björkman, Mark Cousins, Kerstin Gezelius, Jan Holmberg, Lisa Langseth, Kristoffer Leandoer, Sofia Norlin, Suzanne Osten, Leif Zern och Jannike Åhlund.
"Merparten av inläggen har en trovärdig positiv grundton och genomgående har texterna en stimulerande lättsamhet utan att förlora det minsta i djup och bredd. Boken innehåller personliga analyser av valda filmer och det är verkligen roligt och upplyftande att ta del av denna genomlysning av Bergmans filmskapande under många decennier. Det här är en liten pärla i den aktuella raden av Bergmanböcker." - Ingvar Engvén, BTJ

An updated edition – with completely new chapters – of the most accessible and compelling history of the cinema yet published, and complements Mark Cousins' fascinating 15-hour film documentary The Story of Film: An Odyssey. Filmmaker and author Mark Cousins shows how filmmakers are influenced both by the historical events of their times, and by each other. He demonstrates, for example, how Douglas Sirk’s Hollywood melodramas of the 1950s influenced Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s despairing visions of 1970s Germany; and how George Lucas’ Star Wars epics grew out of Akira Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress.The Story of Film is divided into three main epochs: Silent (1885–1928), Sound (1928–1990) and Digital (1990–Present). Films are discussed within chapters reflecting both the stylistic concerns of the film-makers and the political and social themes of the time. This edition includes new text that encompasses the further-reaching scope of world cinema today, and the huge leaps in technology that have changed cinema screens forever.Film is an international medium, so as well as covering the great American films and film-makers, The Story of Film explores cinema in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia and South America, and shows how cinematic ideas and techniques cross national boundaries. Avoiding jargon and obscure critical theory, the author constantly places himself in the role of the moviegoer watching a film, and asks: ‘How does a scene or a story affect us, and why?’ In so doing he gets to the heart of cinematic technique, explaining how film-makers use lighting, framing, focal length and editing to create their effects. Clearly written, and illustrated with over 400 stills, including numerous sequences explaining how scenes work, The Story of Film is essential reading for both film students and moviegoers alike.
