Deepfakes and documentary practice in an age of misinformation
The emergence of deepfakes is the latest form to prompt anxieties over the wider implications of misinformation. This chapter explores possibilities for how these technologies extend the repertoire of modalities available for documentary makers. While these ‘synthetic media’ offer a disruption of the documentary genre, they are also a continuation of long-standing trends within software culture and also clearly augment practices which are deeply …
Introduction
Working with the Australian cinema industry to understand the movie-going experience
Although box office receipts for the theatrical release of movies have remained consistently high over the past decade, this tends to mask a slow erosion in the frequency of movie-going among the Australia population. Australians, it appears, are gradually losing the habit of going to the movies. This decline sits in marked contrast to increasing numbers of audiences preferring to engage with cinematic content through VOD and other digital platfo…
Pleasure, disaffection, ‘conversion’ or rejection? The (limited) role of prefiguration in shaping audience engagement and response
This article examines the extent to which prefigurative ‘horizons of expectations’ shaped audience engagements with Peter Jackson’s 2012 film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey ( AUJ).

Using perspectives from activity theory and the scholarship of teaching, the research has the overall go…

It argues that insights from current documentary theory are important because they show us how documentary texts are structured and how medical…

This relationship is shaped by a wider acceptance of factual media as a cultural form, and is marked by negotiation and appropriation from both sides.
