New Perspectives in the 21st Century Documentaries

New Perspectives in the 21st Century Documentaries

The adventurous documentarists who emerged in the 21st century have broadened our worldview with a bold and creative perspective, without being bound by complete objectivity, which was the serious or thematic approach of traditional documentaries. They have taken on cutting-edge technologies that were unavailable in the 20th century, and they have accepted challenges that erase and cross the boundaries between documentary and fiction, private and historical, as well as objectivity and subjectivity. While appreciating this new trend, we discuss what documentary is in our time and where it is going with what vision.
