Specters of the Real: Documentary Time and Art
Specters of the Real: Documentary Time and Art
This chapter examines the role of time and memory in a documentary by addressing the question: what is gained and lost by spectators when watching a film? A documentary is considered aesthetics because of its temporal disjuncture presented between the real time of the past event and its presence again in the film that can be seen as spectral. The chapter also discusses the aspect of time as political art.
Keywords: real time, political art, spectators, documentary
