Panels are now forming for presentations on the topic of Luis Bunuel and "The
Documentary Tradition." Presentations may be so narrow as to focus solely on
Land Without Bread (1933), or they may be so broad as to discuss documentary
style across Bunuel's oeuvre. All proposals that in some way consider the
relationship between Bunuel and documentary will be considered. Possible
topics include, but are not limited to:

-LWB as documentary and/or fiction

-the intersection of/relationship between narrative and documentary in Bunuel's
films

-LWB in the context of Bunuel's oeuvre

-Bunuel as documentarian/ Bunuel's "documentary style"

-the documentary tradition/ documentary style and Bunuel's early triptych: Un
chien andalou (1929), L'Age d'Or (1930), and LWB

-the documentary tradition/ documentary style in Bunuel's Mexican period
(1947-1960)

-Bunuel as ethnographer/ LWB as ethonographic documentary
