ETHICS AND THE DOCUMENTARY TRADITION: ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS
(www.filmandhistory.org) (8-12 November, 2006 Dallas, TX)
(deadline: 9/10/06)

Call for Participants in some lively roundtable discussions of
Ethics in Documentary Film at the Fall, 2006 Film and History League
Conference on The Documentary Tradition.


Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

Ethics of re-enactments (from Nanook to The Thin Blue Line)
War films: documentary or propaganda?
Ethical issues of filmmaker involvement Peter Davis, Michael Moore,
Morgan Spurlock
What ethical responsibilities do filmmakers have to their subjects?  To
the audience?
Are there any ethical norms in documentary?

We aim to encourage an open, wide-ranging discussion that will engage
these questions in innovative ways. Panel participants will make brief
opening remarks followed by a moderated discussion that may include
interactive media illustrations of topics.


Submission guidelines:

Please include with your submission:
A 150-word statement of the ethical issue you propose to raise.
Please give full name and contact information, to include phone, fax,
zip, etc.


These Roundtables will be attended by many participants of the
conference, but the program for these sessions will list only those who
are NOT on other panels.  (We are hoping that this option provides a
program placement for those without a current research project to report
at a formal session but wish to participate in the meeting.)

The Film and History League Conference will be Nov 8-12 at the Dolce
Conference Center near Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas.  Copious details on
conference, including registration, are available at
