"The breadth and range of this book is fantastic. Russell tackles many interesting problematics and she does so through an eclectic choice of examples.

Suitable for visual anthropologists, as well as film scholars interested in experimental and documentary practices, this book focuses on both the avant-garde and visual anthropology. It provides an analyses of more than thirty-five films and videos from the 1890s to the 1990s.
