AB The author characterizes nonfiction film and reminds us that the history of documentary and nonfiction film has always been on the periphery of film historians' interest, even though a greater number of non-fiction films have been made since the beginning of cinema. These films were made with a vision of specific utility, so it is appropriate to approach them by reconstructing the context of their making and subsequent use, e.g. an industrial film shown to employees or as a company presentation, or as an educational film in schools. In addition, the author details the individual texts of a series of archival documents that follow in the following pages of Illuminace.
