The Aesthetics of the Image in the Classical Documentary Cinema: Semiological Analytical Study of the Movie “Nanook of the North” as a Model
Abstract
The genesis of the documentary movie dates back to the start of the international cinema, as most historians see the first movies produced by Louis and Auguste Lumière in 1895 as documentary movies that depict reality without any intervention from the movie producer. However, the real birth of the documentary cinema has began in the start of the 20th century thanks to the works of Dziga Vertov,Robert Flaherty, and John Grierson, which creatively dealt with reality and rejected imagination that is the cornerstone of the novelistic movie
