인터랙티브 다큐멘터리-미학적 분석과 그 의미

초록

Over the last few years, new documentaries have come to the world documentary circles. New media, also known as digitally-improved interactive documentaries, are the new players. Representative works are Out My Window, produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and directed by Katerina Cizek, and Prison Valley, produced by Arte TV and created by French journalists. The interactive documentaries have won a series of prizes in both documentary and media circles as they presented the future of documentaries. However, few studies have been conducted on the convergence of documentary and new media in Korea. What is interactive documentary? What are the key characteristics of them and how are they differentiated from others? What is the ground for calling them as documentary? If they could be called as documentary, what makes this possible? What characteristics do they share with documentaries and what differentiates them from documentaries? To answer these questions, the first step is to theoretically approach the budding cultural phenomenon, and an attempt to critically understand the documentary culture as a tradition. This study is valuable to discuss the future documentary culture that is filled with diversity.
