Description

This comprehensive survey traces the complete career of Joris Ivens, a prolific documentary filmmaker whose work spanned seven decades across every continent. More than a biographical study, The Conscience of Cinema serves as a microcosmic history of documentary film itself, examining its form, cultural significance, and place within twentieth-century world cinema. Ivens worked across nearly every documentary genre including essay, compilation, hybrid dramatisation, and socialist realism, bringing a leftist commitment to using film as a tool for social change. Published by Amsterdam University Press as part of the Framing Film series, this book provides essential insight into one of cinema's most influential and versatile documentarians and the evolving landscape of documentary practice throughout the twentieth century.
