Anatomy of the Mockumentary. A detailed reportage of the genre that has revolutionized the way cinema is made, from the beginnings of the found footage Cannibal Holocaust to the successes of The Blair Witch Project and the saga of [Rec], to the latest modern cinematic “experiments,” including Afflicted, The Atticus Institute and The Visit. Insights, trivia and exclusive interviews by Lorenzo Ricciardi with Eduardo Sanchez and Jaume Balagueró, and an introduction by Ruggero Deodato.
