Documentary now

Documentary Now! returns this year sponsored jointly by Brunel and Roehampton Universities. The conference brings together scholars, filmmakers, students and interested members of the public to discuss current trends, from the return of documentary as a theatrical box office phenomenon, to broadcast television, the web and beyond. It explores questions of industry, audiences, aesthetics, political engagement, documentary's relationship to the mainstream media and many other issues. What's new in documentary? Where is documentary headed?
