The popularity of the documentary genre has grown exponentially over the last two decades, due in large part to producers\u2019 willingness to push the boundaries of the form. \xa0Re-enactments, animation and a variety of experimental and hybrid styles have taken their place alongside the more traditional observational and verit\xe9 formats, leading to an unprecedented renaissance of non-fiction storytelling.\xa0

How does the producer\u2019s choice of subject matter affect their choice of format, and vice-versa?\xa0 What implications does formal innovation have for the producer\u2019s ability to communicate a subject\u2019s truth? \xa0And what impact have these new approaches had on the market for documentaries?\xa0
