Visible Evidence XI
CONFERENCE
December 16-19, 2003
Bristol, UK

Presented by the School of Cultural Studies, University of
the West of England, Bristol. Hosted by the Watershed Media
Centre.

CALL FOR PANELS

The 2003 Visible Evidence Conference is the eleventh in a
series of major international and interdisciplinary
conferences on the role of film and video as witness and
voice of social reality. The conference encompasses a wide
range of cultural, political, social, historical,
ethnographic and pedagogical questions and welcomes
perspectives from such fields (in addition to film studies)
as anthropology, architecture, art history, ethnic studies,
ethnography, gay and lesbian studies, history, journalism,
law, medicine, political science, psycho-social studies,
sociology, urban studies and women's studies.

In addition, the conference seeks to expand beyond a purely
academic schema and make links with filmmakers, curators and
producers, in order to engage in debates on contemporary
documentary practice and to explore the space between the
perspectives of scholars and cultural producers and
promoters. The conference programme will include screenings
curated by Vertigo Magazine and DocHouse.

This is an open call for panels. We encourage potential
participants to think about documentary in as wide a way as
possible. We also welcome suggestions for alternative modes
of delivery which maximise the potential for discussion,
for example, workshop sessions. We would also like to build
on the relations established in previous conferences
between documentary studies in different parts of the world.

Given the time and place of Visible Evidence XI, we would
like to encourage as especially relevant themes, panels on
- war reporting - national and foreign perspectives on the
British documentary tradition - perspectives for
independent documentary outside television

The format of the conference is a single stream of panels,
so please note that there will only be a limited number of
panels selected. Please submit your proposal using the form

1) a panel proposal (half a page),
