Documentary filmmaking, like a true revolutionary, has come a long way in the struggle for its independence from traditions, stereotypes, and prejudices. It grew out of ordinary chronicles and ethnographic sketches, fell into the net of propagandists, but eventually defended its right to artistic interpretation rather than an objective depiction of reality. This lecture will become not only a guide in a diverse field of directorial experiments but also will tell in detail about the genres, methods, and techniques of modern non-fiction cinema referring to specific films from the programme of the 18 Travelling Docudays UA.
