Features: What is documentary cinema? What are the significance and value of documentary cinema? What are the characteristics of its temporal and spatial dimensions and symbolic communication? What is the essence, characteristics, and value of documentary culture? This book attempts to study documentary cinema from a cultural perspective, trying to move research beyond its previous experiential and purely aesthetic forms, examining it with a broader vision and a fresh conceptual framework. Thus, it aims to give documentary cinema research a theoretical "a priori" nature, guiding the practice of documentary cinema through the ideal paradigm of theoretical exploration. The book is divided into ten chapters, including Documentary and Cognitive Culture, Documentary and Aesthetic Culture, Documentary Cinema and Ethical Culture, Documentary Influence and Time, etc.
