The course will be structured in two distinct parts: a first part will address the history of documentary cinema from its origins to the contemporary, through the study of movements, currents, authors and trends. The second part instead focuses on the theme of iconoclastic cinema, that is, it will develop through a path of analysis of all those authors and those works that have denied the image in the cinema of reality, for ideological reasons, social, political, artistic or cultural. The course also includes some meetings with professionals in the documentary sector in order to put students directly in touch with the professions of cinema.
