Call for Papers

"The Documentary Tradition"

AREA: Michael Moore
Attention to Michael Moore's status as a controversial celebrity
political activist has eclipsed consideration of him as a leading
documentary film director. We are seeking submissions which examine
Moore's relationship to various documentary styles or sub-genres, e.g.
cinema verite, compilation film, mockumentary, firstperson documentary,
essay film, etc. Submissions which focus on his ethical practice,
within the always contested norms of documentary filmmaking, are also
welcome.
