Description: Examines a phenomenon that is referred to by the term ‘animadoc’ - a synthesis of documentary and animation, when the latter acts as a visually expressed relationship to a document and uses various technologies, including docudrama (feature films in a documentary format that reproduces real events), mockumentary (a genre of feature films that imitates documentary filming) and others. Today, documentary animation is viewed from different angles: as an experimental direction in documentary filmmaking; as a new direction in animation itself, using the techniques inherent in documentaries; as an independent means of representing reality. The points of view on the genesis, specifics, nature and classification of documentary animation vary. We propose our own classification of films in the genre of ‘animadoc’ according to the degree of transformation of reality. In the first group, reality is reconstructed: at the same time, it is restored and dramatized. In the second, reality turns out to be imaginary, replaced by fiction. In the third, inanimate reality is animated, transformed and aestheticized. Films created in the hybrid aesthetics of ‘animadocs’ are considered, as well as shooting and editing technologies used in cinematography and new media. The conclusion is drawn about the convergence of documentary, feature, and animated films, resulting in a new kind of visual aesthetics.
