[Web Documentaries]
Documentary film is discovering the web. How do documentary film makers use the new channels opened up by the internet? Distribution platforms on the net offer new opportunities for traditional film makers and communities to organise themselves, and provide more radical documentary makers with the opportunity to subvert and evolve the format of the documentary. This panel analyses examples of documentary projects on the web, and focuses on new documentary formats and net-specific projects with documentary elements. Early practitioners in the field will meet contemporary artists and film makers in a presentation about what constitutes the format and content of online documentaries.
