Abstract
This research-creation thesis examines the role of the filmmaker in the formatting of interactive documentaries broadcast on the Web. The author begins by referring to his own conventional documentaries in order to define their primary enunciative objective. Then, he observes the new positions of spectatorship fostered by current media distribution systems to understand the form to be given to the interactive work he is producing and to judge the possibility of embedding his habitual communicative intentions within it. The author subsequently refers to the interactive documentaries in which he participated during the 1990s and determines the interaction devices allowing for an active presence of the spectator. Finally, the author explains the production stages of his web documentary and highlights the research elements that guided its creation. The author concludes with several reflections concerning the relationship existing between the creator of an interactive documentary work and the current multitasking *spect-actor*.
Keywords: Documentary, interactivity, Internet, web documentary, spectatorship, non-linear, author, spect-actor, editing, reflection.
