'This course examines the principles, methods, and styles of nonfiction film. Beginning with the 'actualites' of film history's first practitioners and ending with contemporary self-reflexive films, such as Errol Morris's The Thin Blue Line, the class studies films that strive to represent some aspect of the real world as opposed to the fictional worlds of narrative cinema.'
