N2 - Maree Delofski examines her own creative practice as a filmmaker. Using examples of emblematic moments in three films in her documentary corpus, A Calcutta Christmas (1998), The Trouble with Merle (2002), Tanaka-san Will Not Do Callisthenics (2008), she analyses the way ‘the real’ is constructed through the interplay between subject and filmmaker, arguing that authorship might be considered the outcome of a reciprocity that can develop between filmmaker and subject in projects filmed over extended periods.
