1. What does poetics mean in relation to documentary?
2. What are the laws of documentary? Are there any?
3. ‘It is the film of fact nonfiction… rather then enjoyment or imagination’ (talking about documentary) does this mean it is presumed to favour truth over poetics?
4. Does the dichotomy of description and interpretation relate solely as binary opposites?
5. Foucalt: the attempt to think in the term of the totality has in fact proved a hinderance to research… How one infinite answer can cause a hinderance to our documentary?
