Virtual site of the exhibition

This bibliographical exhibition is an introduction to the world of documentary film, tracing this kind of film-making from its beginnings, with the birth of the cinematographer, the classical schools of the 1920s, the political documentaries of the 30s and 40s and post-war documentaries, to the new trends in this film genre.

In the exhibition, a number of manuals and specialised magazines dealing with this genre are available for consultation.

As an aid to the exhibition, there is a virtual contents manager that broadens this information with documentaries, interviews, bibliographies and web resources on this subject.
