La escritura del guion documental: definiendo la frontera entre ficción y realidad a propósito de la escritura del documental pequeña América

Abstract

It’s inevitable to encounter a conceptual and philosophical border between fiction and documentary. But then again, it would have been impossible for them to develop without relying on one another in order to expand their formal and expressive possibilities. Thanks to a long process of metamorphosis, contemporary documentaries challenge the classical modalities through new ways of filmmaking. The hybrid is the name given by theorists and critics to this wave of innovative documentary proposals, where reality and fiction conspire together towards finding alternative truths. This study will explore the evolution of documentary film alongside with fiction films in order to write the script for the hybrid documentary Pequeña América.
