The music documentary

Fülszöveg

MUSIC/FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES
The Music Documentary offers a wide range of approaches, across key moments in the history of popular music, in order to define this prominent genre of filmmaking. The writers in this volume argue persuasively that the music documentary must be considered as an essential cultural artifact in documenting stars and icons, and musicians and their times—particularly for those figures whose fame was achieved posthumously. In this collection of fifteen essays, the reader will find comprehensive discussions of the history of music documentaries, insights into their production and promotion, close studies of documentaries relating to favorite bands or performers, and approaches to questions of music documentary and form, from the celluloid to the digital age.
