Summary/Abstract: Even though many of the poetic documentaries do not follow a classical narrative structure, theirconstruction has a natural tendency to form certain patterns in order to convey a message. In theformation of these patterns the use of symbols is an important point because the innovative aspect of thepoetic documentaries is to make the connection between the experimental film, the visual essay and theclassic documentary. Therefore, the entire poetic documentary uses the symbolism from the visual essayand from the experimental film in order to transmit emotions or information to the public in an innovativeway, rarely encountered in the documentary film.
