The Interactive Documentary in Canada
2024
Overview
Interactive documentary emerged rapidly from a constellation of
changing technologies and practices to much excitement, yet its
history is short and its future uncertain. In the mid-2010s Canada
was a world leader in the creation of i-docs. Less than a decade
later technological obsolescence has rendered many of these
celebrated projects inaccessible, while rapid digital innovation
continues to change the i-doc form and its modes of experience.
The Interactive Documentary in Canada captures this
transitional moment in documentary filmmaking and media production.
Bringing together a range of historical, theoretical, and critical
approaches, this collection examines the past - and the imagined
future - of a nonfiction storytelling phenomenon that has Canadian
institutions, figures, and works at its centre. Embracing a
polyphonic conception of interactive documentary, the volume
includes explorations of web-based, app-based, installation, and
virtual reality works that push the boundaries of what is
understood as documentary cinema. Leading documentary scholars and
makers consider the historical and technological contexts of i-doc
production, innovation, and exhibition; the political and
pedagogical potential of the genre; the ethics of the i‐doc
experience; and the format's future lifespan in the contemporary
media landscape.
The Interactive Documentary in Canada establishes a
place for the i-doc in the history of Canadian film, highlighting
the genre's significant impact on the National Film Board of Canada
and on contemporary global documentary media.
