The "nonfiction" label refers simply to style of presentation and is not evaluative, referring purely to the technique used) Yee, Martha M. Moving image materials : genre terms, 1988: p. 82 (Religious films and video: use for films and programs (both fiction and nonfiction) clearly designed to promote a religious point of view) Lopez, D. Films by genre, 1993: p. 250 (Religious films: The label religious films has two broad acceptations...it is a motion picture which revolves around an easily recognizable religious subject...the label obviously applies to any established religion...a religious film is also understood as being a film of religious inspiration and fervor, not necessarily on an obvious religious subject) |
