11 articles by Danish, British, and American film and media researchers focus on two sub-themes: ""Film and Realism"" deals theoretically with film realism and analyses classic films and modern Danish Dogma films; ""Documentary Forms, Reality TV and New Media"" treats new forms of non-fiction film, TV and on the internet in a both theoretical and historical perspective.
