Book Description:

Trevor Ponech has written a serious and pathbreaking study of how to define "non-fiction” cinema. Working from the position that no cinematic representation is wholly factual, Ponech argues that what determines whether a film is fiction or non-fiction is the filmmaker’s intention. Persuasively defending this unique position, the author provides a philosophically rigorous analysis of the communicative practices of filmmakers.
