Transnational Documentaries: A Manifesto Bibliography

John Hess and Patricia R. Zimmermann argue for a construct of transnational documentaries as adversarial media practice to contest corporate transnational concentration, deregulation and privatization; they document activist media practices and works such as Zoned for Slavery, Walt Disney in Haiti, El Naftazteca, Spin and Sonic Outlaws and cite institutional events including the February 1, 1996 telecommunications law and the 8th MacBride Roundtable (Seoul, Aug 24–27, 1996). The manifesto situates film and media scholarship within policy, political economy and international coalition-building and calls for interdisciplinary, transnational alliances and public-space interventions; both authors teach in Ithaca College’s Department of Cinema and Photography.
