Bhinna Chabir Sat Satero by Subrata Ghosh [Hardcover]

This book is grounded in a long-standing interest in non-fiction films and extensive teaching experience in film studies. Due to the lack of academic analysis on non-fiction films, there is a noticeable vagueness in the study and discussion of such films. The world of non-fiction films is vast, encompassing eleven different types. However, despite this diversity, they are often grouped together, leading to confusion among film students and audiences. As a result, the support and recognition for such films are limited, even though creating them is much more challenging and their quality is often equal to or, in some cases, far superior to that of narrative films.

On the other hand, as universities have integrated this art-focused subject into their curriculum alongside other subjects, students end up understanding neither the essence of film nor its artistic processes. This book offers a correct classification and naming of factual or documentary films. It also includes the history of the development of this unique type of film—both abroad and in our country. "Vinna Chobir Sat-Sotero" (The Ins and Outs of Different Films) aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of this genre of cinema and explore why, despite being the origin of film, this genre has remained on the margins for 118 years.
