The Danish directors. 3, Dialogues on the new Danish documentary cinema / edited by Mette Hjort, Ib Bondebjerg, and Eva Novrup Redvall ; translated by Mette Hjort.
Following the two previous volumes in this series of practitioner interviews with Danish directors, this book focuses on Danish documentary cinema. Although many of the directors interviewed here have ventured successfully into the terrain of fiction, their main contributions to the thriving post-1980s milieu lie in the interconnected areas of documentary film and television. Emphasizing the new documentary cinema, this book features filmmakers who belong to the generation born in the 1970s. Many of the interviewees were trained at the National Film School of Denmark's now legendary Department of Documentary and Television. The term "new" also captures tendencies that cut across the work of the filmmakers. For example, for the generation in question, internationalization and the development of a new digital media culture are inevitable aspects of everyday life, and, indeed, of the professional environments in which they operate.
