I'm writing an entry on documentary film in the last decade, for a film
encyclopedia, with an emphasis on authorial, theatrically-oriented
documentaries. (I'm noting the distinction between these and more
formula-driven, televisual doc production.) Among the artists I've seen as
exemplifying the range of expression are Herzog, Morris, Kopple, Guzman,
and of course Moore. (I think the fact that these are all well-established
has a lot to do with why they were so well-positioned in the theatrical
market in the last decade.) I'm wondering if you have recommendations for
great new reading to recommend and trends/other artists that are
can't-miss in a short entry. Thanks so much!
