		The Film and History League
		CALL FOR PAPERS: Conference on THE DOCUMENTARY TRADITION
		November 8-12, 2006
		Dolce Conference Center
		Dallas, Texas
		
		     How do motion pictures represnt "the real," "the actual," "the true"?  For over a century, documentary films, newsreels, and other non-fiction broadcast media have attempted to portray the "reel" truth -- to educate, inform, and perhaps, entertain.  As historical moments unfold and media technologies evolve, the questions of "whose truth," "which truth," and "how much truth," become even more complex.  "The Documentary Tradition" encourages exploration of these and other facets of documentary films and the individuals who create them, as they attempt to reflect and influence history.
		
		     Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
		    
		     *  Documentaries.                                          
		     *  Archival films                                              
		     *  "Reality" programming                            
		     *  Cinema verite                                             
		     *  Mockumentaries
