Since the late nineteenth century the print photograph in the media 
stood as a powerful tool for denouncing social injustice and claiming 
better life conditions – i.e. as seen in the work of Jacob Riis, Lewis 
Hine, or Joshua Benoliel, as many others.  In the early decades of the 
twentieth century the use of images had a significant boost with film, 
when directors such as Flaherty, Eisenstein, John Grierson, Vertov, 
Dvorjenko or Jivens, combining documental intentions with avant-garde 
experimental claims, made possible to discuss political and historical 
conditions.

The aim of the conference is to discuss and debate photographs and film 
as a social tool from a leftist stance. In particular, to examine and 
explore the relation of documentary practices and political commitment 
in different historical circumstances throughout the twentieth and the 
twenty first centuries.
