Abstract

  For many years the early non-fiction film has been sadly neglected by film historians. This type of film was largely ignored during the first period of reawakened interest in early cinema, exemplified by the Brighton conference in 1978, which covered only early fiction films. Bottomore discusses the current rediscovery of early non-fiction film.
