Congrats to Profs. Kelly Anderson, Marty Lucas, and Mick Hurbis-Cherrier’s on their new book! The publication of their documentary filmmaking textbook Documentary Voice & Vision: A Creative Approach to Non-Fiction Media Production (Focal Press, 2016).

Documentary Voice & Vision is designed to give introductory and intermediate students a comprehensive look at the art, craft, technology, and process of non-fiction filmmaking. This book touches on just about every aspect of this field, including: story ideation and development; fundraising strategies; essential cinematic concepts and language; production technologies, protocols, and safety; visual and audio aesthetics; documentary genres and ethics, post-production concepts, workflow and best practices.

Prof. Marty Lucas’ film Hiroshima Bound will have its first screening in the New York area at Union Docs in Williamsburg on March 24th at 7:30PM.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with Prof. Reiko Tahara and IMAer Jason Fox. Hiroshima Bound is an hour-long personal interrogation of the traumatic mix of memory and amnesia that constitutes America’s understanding of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, built from a mix of re-examined archival material, personal meditation and testimony, and visits to sites including The Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley, White Sands Missile Proving Grounds, and the International Center of Photography in New York.
