The art of the documentary has been explored at some length in documentary
studies. John Grierson famously defined the documentary as the “creative
treatment of actuality.” Less, however, has been written about the
relationship between documentary and the arts, the impact of documentary on
art and artists and vice-versa. The diversity of issues related to
representation and interpretation, and the challenges involved in the
representation of one medium by another, complicates the discursive spaces
of production of art, music and documentary. From the early debates around
fidelity and dynamism to the more contemporary ones around interactivity
and performativity, the relationship between art, music and documentary is
a rich terrain for exploration.

This special issue of *Wide Screen* attempts to address this dynamic
relationship between the two and hopes to include in its scope
documentaries related to music, performance, photography, painting, dance,
architecture, folk and cultural forms, kitsch, experimental video,
installation art and exhibition practices. We hope to include in this
issue, documentaries on art and music in the international context and
within frameworks of ideological, narrative and cultural production
analyses.

We* *invite essays, articles, interviews, film and book reviews on this
theme. They could include but are not limited to the following:

Documentaries on particular artists

Documentaries on particular artworks

Folk art and artists
