The use of animation to create documentary film raises epistemological issues about the status of non-photographic and non-indexical forms of moving image to represent ‘reality’. Based on research in the RCA’s archive of over 30 years of experimental animation practice, this paper utilises Bill Nichol’s concept of ‘modes of documentary’ to analyse a range of strategies for the construction of truth claims through examples of animations that draw upon actuality and lived experience to form their subject matter. |
