A colleague in film studies asked for my assistance in pulling together a short bibliography on i-docs (interactive documentaries). This topic and the broader issue of interactive non-fiction narratives as web-based digital storytelling is a long-term interest of mine.
Scholarship on i-docs:
-
Aston, Judith, et al. i-Docs : the Evolving Practices of Interactive Documentary . Wallflower Press, 2017.
