Abstract

The article consists of an analysis of the first phase of the History of Docu- mentary Cinema (1922-1960), when its ontology is established and, at the same time, is put in crisis. Starting from the notion of artifice, (re) production and recording of the historical world, we investigate films of emblematic directors (Flaherty, Vertov, Grierson, Rouch and Drew). We conclude that the public identity of the documentary exists only in a broad and apparent sense, unveiled by founding works that oscillate between document and artifice, recording and staging.

Keywords: history of documentary; artifice, record and reality; (re) production of the historical world.
