European Radio Documentary : A History of the Format and Its Festivals

?This book studies the history and significance of radio documentaries in Europe and the institutions such as conferences and festivals that are focused on this genre of audio work. It centers on the 50 year history of the International Feature Conference (IFC), which is an annual gathering of radio documentarians from around the world, and also discusses the Prix Europa, Prix Italia, the Third Coast International Audio Festival, and the HearSay Audio Arts Festival. This book tells stories of genres that oscillate between various types of nonfiction narration, personal reflection, and full-fledged sound stories – between documentary and feature. Above all, it tells the story of people who chose work with sounds as their lifestyle and who share their passion across continents.
