Baron analyses the way in which the meanings of archival documents are modified when they are placed in new texts and contexts, constructing the viewer's experience of and relationship to the past they portray. Rethinking the notion of the archival document in terms of its reception and the spectatorial experiences it generates, she explores the 'archive effect' as it is produced across the genres of documentary, mockumentary, experimental, and fiction films. This engaging work discusses how, for better or for worse, the archive effect is mobilized to create new histories, alternative histories, and misreadings of history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book covers a multitude of contemporary cultural artefacts including fiction films like \u003ci\u003eZelig\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eForrest Gump\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJFK\u003c\/i\u003e, mockumentaries such as \u003ci\u003eThe Blair Witch Project \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eForgotten Silver\u003c\/i\u003e, documentaries like \u003ci\u003eStandard Operating Procedure\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGrizzly Man\u003c\/i\u003e, and videogames like \u003ci\u003eCall of Duty: World at War\u003c\/i\u003e.
