The Reflexive Mode!<br />

Documentary Film<br />

! Unlike the previous four modes, the reflexive mode positions the<br />

spectator as the focus <strong>of</strong> attention.!<br />

! These films set out to readjust the assumptions and expectations <strong>of</strong> its<br />

audience, not add new knowledge to existing categories. !<br />

! The reflexive mode relies on techniques that attempt to jar us, and<br />

sever our engagement with the film so that we are forced to think<br />

about filmmaking as a construct. !<br />

…no lies (1974)! Surname Viet, Given Name Nam (1980)!
