The Classical Animated Documentary and Its Contemporary Evolution de Cristina Formenti

The Classical Animated Documentary and Its Contemporary Evolution

Autor Cristina Formenti
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 apr 2022
The Classical Animated Documentary and Its Contemporary Evolution is the first book to provide an historical insight into the animated documentary. Drawing on archival research and textual analysis, it shows how this form, usually believed to be strictly contemporaneous, instead took shape in the 1940s. Cristina Formenti integrates a theoretical and a historical approach in order to shed new light on the animated documentary as a form as well as on the work of renowned studios such as The Walt Disney Studios, Halas & Batchelor, National Film Board of Canada and never before addressed ones, such as Corona Cinematografica. She also highlights the differences and the similarities existing among the animated documentaries created between the 1940s and the mid-1980s and those produced today so as to demonstrate how the latter do not represent a complete otherness in respect to the former, but rather an evolution.

Recenzii

This is a valuable addition to debates around the under-theorised subgenre of animated documentary. It traces the historical emergence of a graphic (and aural) vocabulary for this subgenre, dating from the early twentieth century within a variety of national and institutional contexts. It convincingly demonstrates the deep historical roots of the range of animation within newer online, interactive and immersive forms of documentary.
A "tour de force" through the wide history of the animated documentary. This is the book I have been waiting for!
Formenti's The Classical Animated Documentary and its Contemporary Evolution is an essential point of reference and is surely destined to be a seminal text for many years to come. For anyone wanting to understand animated documentary, Formenti's words guide the reader expertly through the often-uncharted realm of animated documentary, providing crisp insights regarding the history of the form, conceptual debates and stylistic evolution, as well as hinting at what the future may hold for animated documentary.
Formenti's research is extensive and she captures the evolution of how the animated documentary has developed in its classic and contemporary forms, thus managing to focus on topics, texts and authors in a coherent and profound way . this is an original text of great cultural and historical value, rich in content and perspectives.
