Ethics in Documentary III: Responsibility for the Subject

The third publication in the Ethics in Documentary Film series focuses on the question of responsibility for the subject of a documentary film – from its selection and treatment to its reception and social impact. Contributions from authors in various fields show that ethics permeates all phases of creation and is not an external limitation, but part of the creative thinking itself. The book combines theoretical considerations, case studies and student reflections, and offers a space for dialogue about what it means today to bear responsibility for a film and for the world it portrays.
