About the authors
Index
Sheila Curran Bernard is an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker and the author of Documentary Storytelling, a best selling guide to story and structure in nonfiction filmmaking, and
"This is it. The book that will save you thousands of dollars and
untold hours of frustration. It will be the single best purchase
your production company will make."-Ann Petrone, Archival
Supervisor, The Fog of War "Here we have what I believe will
swiftly become an essential guide for documentary filmmakers with
an archive bias, and anyone thinking of becoming a film
researcher." - James Smith, Archive Zones "Copyright and clearance
is such a minefield for filmmakers who are frequently faced with
the double whammy of complex legal rules and enormous licensing
expenses. This book is a great resource because it surveys the
entire landscape from ethical/creative considerations to fair use
to changes in the digital age, and the focus is always on the
importance of telling stories. Which is what it is all about after
all!" - Shooting People The excellent new resource Archival
Storytelling is really two books in one: a detailed how-to guide
for filmmakers on the process of researching, acquiring and
clearing rights to archival materials, and a deeper exploration of
the implications, ethical and creative, of using these materials to
tell new stories. - American Archivist
