[Frameworks] Documentaries-diaries-essays or video/film installations that play with truth or cinema theory

[Adam Hyman]

Check out the book F Is for Phony: Fake Documentary and Truth¹s Undoing, ed.
By Alex Juhasz and Jesse Lerner
https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/f-is-for-phony
And then all the films discussed in thereŠ
We did a screening once in conjunction with it that included No Lies, Land
Without Bread, and Marlon Fuentes¹ Bontoc Eulogy (1995).

Best regards,

Adam Hyman
