Textul de pe ultima copertă

Reel Families is the first historical study of amateur film. This pervasive medium is often considered the junkheap of private culture, yet music videos recycle home movies as authenticity; commercials copy their style to sell intimacy; documentaries use them to recount history 'from below'----of civil rights, feminism, and the ravages of the Holocaust and Vietnam.
