EXPANDING DOCUMENTARY:  SOUND, IMAGE, TEXT

Nga Wae o Horotiu Marae

Auckland University of Technology

Aotearoa New Zealand

December 7-9, 2011

Website: www.aut.ac.nz/expanding-documentary-2011

-----------------------------------------------------------

Organised in association with Auckland University of Technology (Schools of Communication Studies and Art & Design, Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies) and the University of Auckland (Department of Film, Television and Media Studies, Faculty of Arts).

EXPANDING DOCUMENTARY: SOUND, IMAGE, TEXT 2011 is the eighth biennial documentary conference held in Aotearoa New Zealand. Arising out of a ?small country? context, the event has been distinguished over the years by its concern to engage artists, makers, academics, writers, industry professionals and community activists interested in questions of theory and practice.

Focusing on non-fiction and documentary-related work produced within Aotearoa, Australia and the Asia Pacific region, the conference includes presentations of works-in-progress or recently completed works, as well as academic papers.

In 2011, the overarching, interdisciplinary ethos of Expanding Documentary continues the event?s emphasis on new and revised directions in thinking and practice while keeping in sight significant questions of subjectivity, embodiment, ethics, history, politics, economy and technology in the process of making and interpreting documentary works.

Four key areas of interest guide programming:

1. Ways in which culturally distinctive knowledge systems inform the production, representation and interpretation of documentary work.

2. The mediation of documentary through augmented realities, mobile media, web 2.0 apps, interactive game technology and other digital platforms.

3. Thinking practices through production, creativity and pedagogy.

4. Political and social documentary screens ? large and small.

Keynote guests include Professor Jon Dovey (Director, Digital Cultures Research Centre, UWE) - most recently involved with organizing the i-Docs symposium in Bristol  http://i-docs.org/

Other guests representing a cross-section of Indigenous, filmmaker, photographer and digital interface interests are to be confirmed in the next few weeks ? please sign up to ?Expanding Documentary News? on the website homepage for updates.

Expanding Documentary welcomes papers and works (moving image, photography, installation, sound, digital and multimedia) that engage creatively and critically with the following questions:

** What has changed and what remains the same when thinking about, making and distributing documentary in digital environments?

** In what ways can practices of participation, collaboration, and location in place and time be thought differently - and how might this inform the ?doing? of practice? How do shifts in social, political, economic and cultural environments impact on documentary work locally?  Globally?  In what ways do identity and subjectivity currently influence forms of documentary expression?

** How do we conceive of the relationships between history, theory and practice of documentary ? as makers, as educators, as writers?

** How do technologies and their uses factor in present day making, teaching and thinking around documentary matters?
