Reviews
Kill the Documentary is a provocative manifesto for rethinking the documentary. Godmilow provides a shield against the tear-soaked sentimentality and nostalgia of the Ken Burns style of packaging history. A new tool in the film teacher's kit, this book is useful beyond discussions of documentary. The passion of her prose is infectious--a welcome relief for student reading assignments., This provocative, engaging, often enervating book by acclaimed filmmaker Jill Godmilow raises important questions for anyone concerned about the future of political documentary. She maps out an original approach to "postrealist" documentary that champions moral engagement, social activism, aesthetic daring, historical grounding, and intersectional participation for bold twenty-first-century filmmaking., In her captivating and original Kill the Documentary , filmmaker and critic Jill Godmillow, offers a plea--in the form of a letter, which is a manifesto, and 40 propositions, and a tool kit--for making postrealist nonfiction , for making film useful and fruitful. In her scathing critique of "great" documentaries, and her offering up of her own counter-canon, she insists that filmmakers and viewers can begin again by refusing the pedigree, pornography, and cultural imperialism of the real, and by supporting postrealist strategies : interventionist and interactive, performative and formal. Honestly, I don't agree with all she says, or every one of the 144 films she honors, and that's her urgent book's point and purpose: I can and should make my own., Herein lies the specificity and refreshing nonconformity of [this] book: it pushes the reader not only to see through the ideological premises of conventional formats, but also to delve into the multiple configurations that generate subversive experiences . . . [Godmilow's] persistent faith in the importance of developing critical awareness and in the agency of art to intervene into reality despite the omnipresent 'capitalist realism' in the global neoliberal society radiates a compelling force., Kill the Documentary is a brilliant, angry book. An honest book. A brave book. Guggenheim Fellow and award-winning filmmaker Jill Godmilow has written a stirring call to arms in a form she calls "a letter." I rather agree with Bill Nichols, who writes in the foreword that he prefers to call it "a manifesto.", In her captivating and original Kill the Documentary , filmmaker and critic Jill Godmilow offers a plea--in the form of a letter, which is a manifesto, and forty propositions, and a tool kit--for making postrealist nonfiction , for making film useful and fruitful. In her scathing critique of "great" documentaries, and her offering up of her own counter-canon, she insists that filmmakers and viewers can begin again by refusing the pedigree, pornography, and cultural imperialism of the real, and by supporting postrealist strategies : interventionist and interactive, performative and formal. Honestly, I don't agree with all she says, or every one of the 144 films she honors, and that's her urgent book's point and purpose: I can and should make my own., Jill Godmilow marshals a pantheon of hard-hitting, tough-minded films that refuse to be herded into the realist corral. Godmilow's letter, or manifesto, like most manifestos, draws a line in the sand. Which side are you on becomes the question. Stay put and miss the point, or step on through to the other side and restore for yourself some of the nuance and subtlety that is foreign to the spirit of a manifesto., This provocative and engaging book by acclaimed filmmaker Jill Godmilow raises important questions for anyone concerned about the future of political documentary. She maps out an original approach to "postrealist" documentary that champions moral engagement, social activism, aesthetic daring, historical grounding, and intersectional participation for bold twenty-first-century filmmaking., Kill the Documentary is a brilliant, angry book. An honest book. A brave book. Guggenheim Fellow and award-winning filmmaker Jill Godmilow has written a stirring call to arms., This book will be a gold mine for any instructors putting together an "Introduction to Documentary Filmmaking" syllabus or for cinematic autodidacts hungry to experiment with alternative modes of nonfictional filmmaking.

Synopsis
Can the documentary be useful? Can a film change how its viewers think about the world and their potential role in it? In Kill the Documentary , the award-winning director Jill Godmilow issues an urgent call for a new kind of nonfiction filmmaking. She critiques documentary films from Nanook of the North to the recent Ken Burns/Lynn Novick series The Vietnam War . Tethered to what Godmilow calls the "pedigree of the real" and the "pornography of the real," they fail to activate their viewers' engagement with historical or present-day problems. Whether depicting the hardships of poverty or the horrors of war, conventional documentaries produce an "us-watching-them" mode that ultimately reinforces self-satisfaction and self-absorption. In place of the conventional documentary, Godmilow advocates for a "postrealist" cinema. Instead of offering the faux empathy and sentimental spectacle of mainstream documentaries, postrealist nonfiction films are acts of resistance. They are experimental, interventionist, performative, and transformative. Godmilow demonstrates how a film can produce meaningful, useful experience by forcefully challenging ways of knowing and how viewers come to understand the world. She considers her own career as a filmmaker as well as the formal and political strategies of artists such as Luis Buñuel, Georges Franju, Harun Farocki, Trinh T. Minh-ha, Rithy Panh, and other directors. Both manifesto and guidebook, Kill the Documentary proposes provocative new ways of making and watching films., In Kill the Documentary , the award-winning director Jill Godmilow issues an urgent call for a new kind of nonfiction filmmaking. In place of the conventional documentary, she advocates for a "postrealist" cinema.
