 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.
