AREA: The City

The cityscape has always featured prominently in fiction films. How has
the city and the urban experience been interpreted in documentaries,
docudramas, and propaganda films? The Film & History League calls for
papers examining the role of the city in documentary and its many
permutations as well as the role of the documentary in our understanding
of the city. We invite submissions that explore the examination and
portrayal of urban subjects in the documentary. The Film & History
conference is particularly interested in how documentaries reflect or
influence history and current political discourse as well as how our
understanding of urban history has been shaped by documentaries.
