 Panels, Papers, Workshops, and Screenings

Presentations will take place within 90-minute blocks shared by between 3 – 4 presenters and chaired either by a presenter or a moderator designated by the organizing committee. Panels and workshops may be pre-constituted, either through individual solicitation or public calls. Conveners of pre-constituted panels and their participants should coordinate their session to allow time for discussion, limiting individual contributions to 20-minutes.

Pre-constituted panels are organized around a well-defined critical, theoretical or historical topic that aims to generate dialogue among the panelists and audience members. Conveners are asked to submit a proposal that outlines the event as a whole and also provides for each presenter:

1) a title and abstract for the presentation (~300 words)
2) an autobiographical blurb (~50-100 word max)
3) a five-item bibliography

Individual papers are asked to provide proposals using the same format as for panelists of a pre-constituted panel (see immediately above). Presenters will be grouped into panels constituted by the Programming Committee.

Pre-constituted workshops may include up to six (6) presenters making short opening statements leading to interaction among themselves and the audience. Conveners are asked to submit a proposal that outlines the event as a whole and provides for each presenter: a title and abstract for the presentation; an autobiographical paragraph and a five-item bibliography.

Individual screenings will generally take place within ninety-minute blocks. Presenters should prepare excerpts from their work, while allowing time for discussion. Proposals for screenings should include a title and description of the work, including a contextualization of its prominence within current documentary practice; an autobiographical paragraph; and distribution information the presenter wishes to have appeared in the conference program. If feasible, a screener or link to the work should also be submitted.
