The Man without the Movie Camera: The Cinema of Alan Berliner / El hombre sin la cámara. El cine de Alan Berliner

Alan Berliner has a thought-provoking filmography to his name always on the frontiers of established genres which has aroused considerable interest in places as diverse as Norway, Brazil, Japan, Germany, Argentina, Great Britain and Australia. This interest has often been translated into awards, most notable of which are the three Emmys he received in the United States or the twelve international awards which he received for his best-known film, Nobody s Business. This book aims to enter into dialogue with Berliner s films and with those frontier lands in which he works home movies, found footage cinema, personal documentary, audiovisual essay; to serve as a forum for debate about his films and about those kinds of audiovisual discourse, a project still under construction. For this reason the book s structure responds to this dialogic approach, combining texts about Berliner, texts by him and questions addressed to him: the filmmaker speaks, different critics who analyzed his work comment, and conversations through interviews are established. The book is written in English, with two thirds of it translated to Spanish too.
