Documentary Aesthetics (Critical Body) book. A journey in memory of many documentaries. Belonging to many humanitarian geo-cultural sensitivities, it is an initial part of the summary of documentary films that I have followed and watched. On roll occasions. Views here and there. And permanent travel to some Moroccan cities, as president of the jury. As a member of it, or as a participant in a seminar of intellectual symposia, or as a framer of a workshop. Or as a coordinator and member of a group of scientific research teams interested in employing the image in entrenching values and building learning. Or as a writer of some documentary film works, etc., of course, without forgetting, My associative concerns (as founder of the International Documentary Film Festival of Khouribga and the Moroccan Chamber of Documentary Filmmakers in Rabat, and the Association of Image Sound in Casablanca.) Etc.
This love of the image, and of cinema in general, and of documentary in particular, has made me approach to some extent, over decades, some documentary film problems (theoretically and analytically). In the hands of you, dear reader, dear reader, in the hope that I will contribute to bridging a wide hole in the field of documentary film criticism, especially at the level of our wounded Arab homeland.
section One:
A theoretical section, I addressed it with theoretical body parts, in which I presented and addressed some of the theoretical and conceptual issues that pertain to the documentary. .
Section Two:
A section, I called it research parts. The parts were discussed in many documentary film topics, the university between theoretical sense and the other analytical. And it has been, "important" to read it within this title: research pieces, which is a small scientific research sample, related to how to work on the documentary from this angle Primary scientific research.
Section Three:
A section, presented within the title, analytical fragments, through which many documentary films, belonging to many human experiences and visions, were analyzed, intentionally, geo-political belonging, and attended the human aesthetic affiliation, and the reason, that the documentary unites breaths and concerns, and achieves pleasure The view, even if it falls under the 'pain lattice' box.
The whole, among all these theoretical, conceptual, research, and analytical pieces, is research in the aesthetics of the documentary film, starting from a set of semiotic and aesthetic references ... etc. and what it accumulated from a modest experience in the field of reading and writing in the field of the image as a whole. Present and exuberant aesthetics in all documentaries The analyst, even if he is in front of documentary films dealing with social issues that are allowed from the system of oppression, and throughout this wounded and burdened Arab nation, the concerns of political policy, or even from outside it.
In addition to this section, and for its introduction this guide, and its conclusion with a conclusion, an important question was asked about it, related to what we have after the journey of writing about documentary films that we saw in different documentary film spaces inside and outside Morocco, this book has been appended along many of its axes and its end, with a set of images accompanied by mentioning its sources, list of paper and film references, etc.
Finally, I wish a pleasant and useful reading of this writing / shredded pieces from the memory of oblivion.
