Abstract

Documentary Autuer Agnes Varda Werner Herzog Spike Lee
The careers of three auteur filmmakers, Agnès Varda, Werner Herzog, and Spike Lee, demonstrate that documentary has become an important part of the artistic and entrepreneurial strategy of contemporary independent filmmaking. The recent documentary work of each is placed in a context which demonstrates how the voice of the filmmaker can be found in a wide variety of film forms as well as in the promotional activities that surround them.
