Review: "This handbook is for anyone who wants to make or study documentary and ethnographic films and videos. It provides a step-by-step guide to film- and videomaking - from research and funding, through the "nuts and bolts" of production, to distribution - as well as a thorough orientation to the ethical and aesthetic issues that confront documentarians in the field. Filled with practical illustrations, state-of-the-art technical information, and advice from numerous leading filmmakers and anthropologists, this book is the essential guide for veteran and beginner alike."--BOOK JACKET.
