Call for Papers Errol Morris Documentary filmmaker Errol Morris is known for winning the 2004 Academy Award for Best Documentary for The Fog of War; for his 1998 film The Thin Blue Line, which both resulted in the release of death-row inmate Randall Adams and introduced the now-familiar dramatic reenactment; and for his device known as the Interrotron, which allows direct eye contact (ostensibly) between the subject and the spectator. He is a leading contemporary practitioner in the documentary tradition.
