CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - 2009

EXPANDING DOCUMENTARY CONFERENCE – 2009
Exploring Documentary in Aotearoa/New Zealand
Sunday 22 February, 2009

The seventh biennial documentary conference will be held in Auckland, at the Gus Fisher Gallery. A collaboration between Massey University [School of Fine Arts] and the University of Auckland [Film Television & Media Studies], in association with the DocNZ Film Festival.

The conference format this year will be slightly different from previous years. It will consist of a one-day event that will be part of the DocNZ Summit (22-25 February). As in previous years, the conference will interweave selected documentary presentations by filmmakers, photographers and artists, along with academic papers.

In addition to the conference day, the DocNZ Summit will also feature opportunities for presentations by documentary practitioners and academics. The Summit will focus its presentations on more topical issues. Please visit the DocNZ Summit website for more information. http://www.docnz.org.nz/summit/

DOCUMENTARY WORKS

Film/videomakers, photographers and artists are invited to show documentary works still in production (rough-cuts, representative takes, edited sequences, etc.) or, if completed, works that have not yet shown widely. An open discussion session will follow presentations. In addition to film and video works, we will also feature documentary works in photography and related art-genres. We welcome projects from every aspect of the documentary spectrum – community, activist, indigenous, mainstream, oral history, avant-garde, experimental, art-house, contemporary art, etc. – but each will be chosen for their particular and unique quality. We are looking for exciting, innovative works.

DOCUMENTARY PAPERS

In addition to documentary works, we are also interested in selected written presentations that continue debates and discussions around documentary theory and practices. We are seeking papers from academics and others writing on documentary from a variety of perspectives. Papers may focus on documentary within film studies, history, anthropology, cultural studies, art history, media studies, fine art studies, etc.

The final selection for all presentations will be determined through a peer-review process.
