# Documentary Film

## COMM-2440

Does documentary film depict reality or is it just another form of storytelling? This course takes a broad, historical look at documentary media, exposing students to a wide range of works that in some sense stand on claims to truth. Students are invited to develop a critical stance toward documentary modes of social representation, through viewing and analyzing colonial photography and cinema, ethnographic, propaganda, cinema verite, experimental, and even "fake" documentaries.
