Abstract

The ontology of documentary pursues the expression of authenticity, constructs an index relationship corresponding to the real life of objective society, and reveals the truth and truth hidden under the surface of things. However, this paradigm has encountered a major crisis in the digital age, mainly because digital technology has enabled documentary images to point to the correspondence between symbols and objects that objectively exist, and has been completely deconstructed. Documentary is mired in the digital crisis of "fracture" in terms of material source, picture arrangement, and acceptance to the audience, and many theoretical researchers have fiercely criticized the authenticity paradigm of documentary ontology. However, digital technology itself has its own unsolvable limitations, human beings have the instinct to pursue objective reality, and fiction can also serve the truth, which makes documentary still stick to its own ontological bottom line in the digital age, without abandoning their authentic nature. The ontological dilemma of documentary in the digital age can actually be solved.
