This Thesis aims to provide criticism of main discourses on Essay Film which constitute idea of Essay Film with a voice over text. Unlike Expository documentaries, Essay Film offers a subjective voice. This voice is offered to let audience get role in construction of film idea with director by placing the director same place with spectator. David Harvey criticises this voice of essay film by concept of vococentrism which lets us interogate the authority on the essay film voice. In this thesis, by criticizing essay film through vococentrisim, it is aimed to reconsider Essay Film idea through the texts of Adorno, Hans Richter and thinkers whom offer film has its own tools to create its unique text. In the end of these discussions, this thesis, offers a non-vococentric Essay Film named Zur Person as a practical work.
