About this book

Using the Syrian documentary Still Recording as its central case study, Ammar Almamoun examines danger as an aesthetic agent rather than merely a production condition. Political threat reshapes performance, space, footage, narrative and the camera’s claim to convey truth, dividing people and places into shifting categories of safety and risk. The study offers a close account of how authoritarian violence enters documentary form itself, altering both what can be recorded and how images are constructed.
