Editor's Note:
In a much-discussed scene from the epic 1985 documentary Shoah, director Claude Lanzmann has the Holocaust survivor Simon Srebnick, flanked by two soldiers, reenact his capture and arrival at the Chelmo extermination camp in Poland over forty years earlier. In In Person: Reenactment in Postwar and Contemporary Cinema, author Ivone Margulies explores this modern and contemporary convention of documentary-that is, the casting of the real person as actor of his or her own story. A common strategy in cinematic reconstructions of the past, reenactment has gained a new currency in articulating history and the embodied self in film in the past three decades. Heavily influenced by techniques used throughout Lanzmann's epochal Holocaust documentary, films such as Abbas Kiarostami's Close-Up (1990), Rithy Panh's S-21: the Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2003), Zhang Yuan's Sons (1996) and Andrea Tonacci's The Hills of Disorder (2006) have featured original protagonists mimetically re-enacting events of their past on camera. Examining these films and many others, Margulies dissects the ways that directors use a variety of pedagogic, clinical, and legal procedures-talking cures, psychodrama, public testimony, and truth-and-reconciliation commissions-along with reenactments to document real-life events. A new look at the reenactment phenomenon in global nonfiction film, In Person argues that a person's replication of his or her own past differs markedly from all other reconstructions of biographical and historical events, or of social practices either by actors or by members of the same social group.
