The complete program for the 1999 Visible Evidence Conference is now available on the web at www.cinema.ucla.edu/visible. This year's conference features presentations and panels with an international group of scholars, filmmakers and even lawyers along with a number of free public events. In addition to the conference program, our web-site contains the full program for our "Documentary Videotheque" which will include four hours of free screenings each day of the conference. For those of you who will be in the Los Angeles Area, there will be three evening programs: "Permeable Lines" a panel discussion featuring Penelope Spheeris, Haskell Wexler, and Edward James Olmos. "Permeable Lines" will continue the theme of our Keynote address from the perspective of three successful Hollywood filmmakers active in both documentary and fiction film. Drawing upon their experiences in both modes of filmmaking, panelists will discuss how documentary and reality based stories influence fiction film, and similarly how the structure and aesthetics of fiction inform documentary production. On Wednesday night we will screen EKLEIPSIS (1998) by Tran T. Kim-Trang, THE FALL OF COMMUNISM... (1998) by William E. Jones, and RUINS (1999) by Jesse Lerner. William E. Jones and Tran T. Kim-Trang are schedule to attend the screening and discuss their films following the program. Thursday August 19th will feature an evening with Marina Goldovskaya moderated by Robert Rosen, Dean of the School of Theater Film and Television. Ms. Goldovskaya will screen her 1993 award winning film THE HOUSE ON ARBAT STREET along with clips from several of her other films as she discusses the evolution of her documentaries on Russia. All of the evening programs are free and open to the public. In order to attend the daily conference panels you need to visit our web-site for registration information.
