Critics and writers consider nonfiction film both as document and as creative work with strong artistic, political, and moral implications. In essays by eleven of America's foremost writers, critics, and filmmakers, Beyond Document explores the full spectrum of nonfiction film and its creative possibilities. In addition to Charles Warren's broad introductory history of the genre, the book takes a close look at ethnographic films, cinema-verité, memoir and autobiography, docudramas, essay films, and newsreels, from classics like Night and Fog and Nanook of the North to more recent important work like Film about a Woman Who. . ., Harlan County, U.S.A., Sans Soleil, and Forest of Bliss. Representations of reality are increasingly contested, in courtrooms and in Congress, as well as in art. Asking what the art of film can achieve, Helene Keyssar considers the history of nonfiction films by women; Jay Cantor discusses film investigations of the Holocaust; Patricia Hampl looks at how autobiographical films render experience into narrative; Robert Gardner questions the filmmaker's "impulse to preserve" ; and poet Susan Howe explores structures of mourning in several filmmakers. All the book's essays provide deeply felt understanding of documentary film, and of how we live with, an d within, images.

This is a collection of seven epics, lyrics of seven respective musical albums, which I also composed. During that period of my life I passed through various experiences, which profoundly influenced my life and eventually my compositions, whether musical or lyrical. Maybe they could be a true reflection! A teenager of the seventies, I was a fan of classical and rock music with a special interest in progressive and heavy rock, which quite influenced my musical style and stirring ideas driving my potential writing gear. The various readings of science fiction, eastern ethnical beliefs and philosophies, some significant motion pictures, and the surrounding world of changes; incarnating tyranny, deceit, war, inhumanity, injustice...all contributed and had tangible impact on forming my ideology. The Martyr, the old-young man, who loved his human brotherhood and nature, whose enigma was to salvage them, who desparately searched for love but was absurdly treated, and winded up a martyr of his own principles! Could a simple person make a drastic decision to stop the wrong? Free the abused, whatever it took him?

A bless or a curse? An evolution, a paradigm shift from delirium to step on the threshold towards the route to promise land. Travelling in space and time, traversing life and death to reach reality, a contemplation of the mind was The Journey! When you have acquired knowledge, then you should share it and help others, lead them to enlightenment! Fly Free Gentle Dove is the aim. Have I really grasped the knowledge and gone beyond it to reach unity with the universe? The recapitulation is in the Voyages on the Oceans of Mystery.

The first book to validate the meaningful dreams and visions that bring comfort as death nears. Christopher Kerr is a hospice doctor. All of his patients die. Yet he has cared for thousands of patients who, in the face of death, speak of love and grace. Beyond the physical realities of dying are unseen processes that are remarkably life-affirming. These include dreams that are unlike any regular dream. Described as "more real than real," these end-of-life experiences resurrect past relationships, meaningful events and themes of love and forgiveness; they restore life's meaning and mark the transition from distress to comfort and acceptance. Drawing on interviews with over 1,400 patients and more than a decade of quantified data, Dr. Kerr reveals that pre-death dreams and visions are extraordinary occurrences that humanize the dying process. He shares how his patients' stories point to death as not solely about the end of life, but as the final chapter of humanity's transcendence. Kerr's book also illuminates the benefits of these phenomena for the bereaved, who find solace in seeing their loved ones pass with a sense of calm closure. Beautifully written, with astonishing real-life characters and stories, this book is at its heart a celebration of our power to reclaim the dying process as a deeply meaningful one. Death Is But a Dream is an important contribution to our understanding of medicine's and humanity's greatest mystery.
