Problém formy a relativizácia statusu dokumentárneho filmu v súčasnej slovenskej autorskej tvorbe
THE PROBLEM OF FORM AND THE RELAVITIZATION OF THE STATUS OF DOCUMENTARY FILM IN CONTEMPORARY SLOVAK AUTHORIAL PRODUCTION

Summary/Abstract: The present study offers a critical reflection of contemporary Slovak authorial production. Focusing on three films, the author analyses the authors’ approaches to representing reality from a formal point of view. The author claims that all of them relativize the status of documentary film, using as a tool of critical analysis Carl Plantiga’s definition of documentary film, included in his concept of “asserted veridical representation”. The films under analysis use three formally different approaches of relating to social reality. One relies on an acted form, the second takes the form of a historicizing essay, and the third promotes the author’s subjective views through a cut collage of motifs stemming from reality.
