Ethical issues in documentary filmmaking stem from its belonging not only to the history of cinema but also to documentary media. While the difference between documentary filmmaking and journalism is apparent in a more reflective, deliberate, and author’s vision of reality, its difference from the feature film in the age of hybridization of genres is often less noticeable. The problem point where documentary filmmaking still differs from feature films is the depiction of scenes of real non-simulated violence and death. Addressing the ideas of Vertov, Bazin, and Sontag, we will try to consider how documentary filmmaking managed to solve the problem of ethical display of violence and death on the screen at different times.
