I read Point of View ... 

"Not only does it give me a comprehensive
guide of what is going on in the documentary world, it also
consistently raises significant questions about documentary practice,
theory and philosophy. That combination is rare, invaluable and
inspiring. The quality of enquiry is excellent, and I always learn
something new when I read it."

Jennifer Baichwal, Director, Act of God and Manufactured Landscapes, and avid Point of View reader
