"Documation: Images of the World as It Was, Is and Might Yet Be"
April 15th 2010, Thursday, 2:00pm, Room C201
Karen Beckman explores questions that emerge from the intersection of documentary and animated forms of filmmaking. In addition to thinking about the history of this relationship, her paper will compare personal and socio-political mobilizations of this hybrid form. She is the Elliot and Roslyn Jaffe Associate Professor of Film Studies in the department of the History of Art, and the director of the program in Cinema Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also one of the editors of the journal Grey Room.

Precirculated paper and suggested reading will be posted here shortly.
