CALL FOR PAPERS
2006 Film and History League Conference
"The Documentary Tradition" Dallas 8-12 November 2006
<http://www.filmandhistory.org>

AREA: The Newsreel

presence in motion picture theaters for over half a century, the newsreel
has often received scant scholarly attention. But from its depictions of
war, politics, poverty, race, gender, and every other facet of life to its
presence in motion picture theaters and newsreel-only venues, the newsreel
was an indelible part of the motion picture experience.
