Seeing, feeling, knowing: a case study of audience perspectives on screen documentary
Despite a blossoming of scholarly interest in screen documentary, audience perspectives remain significantly under-researched. This article is part of an attempt to redress such a neglect. It draws on a small study using questionnaires submitted by self-selected and largely middle-class cinemagoers who watched the French documentary Etre et Avoir. Key vectors of inquiry are: generic assumptions about documentary; issues of veracity and trust; distinctions between notions of the `authentic¿ and the inauthentic, the `sincere¿ and the contrived. In addition, the choice of film, cinema and, ultimately audience facilitates some insights into the cultural tastes and practices of the `professional middle class¿, including Francophilia.
