Among Ferro's many publications, see Pétain (Paris, Fayard, 1987); Analyse de film, analyse de sociétés: une source nouvelle pour l’histoire (Paris, Hachette, 1975); Film et histoire (Paris, Editions de l’EHESS, 1984); with Christian Delage, Révoltes, révolutions, cinéma (Paris, Centre Pompidou, 1989); Cinéma et histoire, 2nd edition (Paris, Gallimard, 1993); with Jean Planchais, Les Médias et l’histoire (Paris, CFPJ Editions, 1997). The episodes of Histoire parallèle devoted to the war are available on DVD under the title Histoire parallèle: la seconde guerre mondiale (Paris, Editions Arte, 1996). 3. On this point, see Sylvie Lindeperg, Clio de 5 à 7: les actualités filmées de la libération, archives du futur (Paris, CNRS Editions, 2000) and Brett Bowles, ‘Jean Renoir's Salut à la France: documentary film production, distribution, and reception in France, 1944–45,’ The Historical Journal of Film, Radio, and Television 26(1) (2006), 57–86. 4. Ibid. 5. In addition to her Clio de 5 à 7 cited above, see Lindeperg's Les Ecrans de l’ombre: la Seconde Guerre Mondiale dans le cinéma français, 1944–1969 (Paris: CNRS Editions, 1997). For his part, Bertin-Maghit has also published two pioneering books: Le Cinéma sous l’Occupation: le monde du cinéma français de 1940 à 1946, 2nd edition (Paris, Perrin, 2002) and Les documenteurs des années noires: les documentaires de propagande en France, 1940–1944 (Paris, Nouveau Monde Editions, 2003). The latter deals with stand-alone documentary films held at the Centre National de la Cinématographie in Bois d’Arcy rather than with the INA's newsreel collection.
