Breakfast with Center for Social Media

Welcome by Pat Aufderheide, SOC Film Professor and Director of CSM

 

Possible sessions (full schedule will be available in May)

 

Strategies for using storytelling for social action

 

Documentaries: Not Just Movies Anymore. The panel will discuss the evolution of the documentary from stand-alone educational product to showcase for social issues. Hear about the use of multiple media platforms (print, video, Internet, broadcast TV, radio, etc) to further communicate the issues addressed by documentaries

 

New Technologies for Media that Matters

Increasingly, consumers receive messages while on the move—on cell phones, their iPods, and screens encountered in stores, airports and office buildings. How can strategic communicators take advantage of these new opportunities? Hear from high-tech experts and documentarians who are seizing the opportunity themselves.

 

 

Celebrate South Africa

South African filmmakers, artists examine the role of music as a tool for civic engagement.

 

“DOC Talk” followed by reception

 


 

Friday, June 16

 

Possible sessions:

 

Future for Public Media: Do documentarians need Public Media?

Public media, especially public broadcasting, have long had a special relationship with documentarians. The broadcasters who brought us Eyes on the Prize , The Boys of Baraka and RX for Survival now find themselves competing with cable channels and even direct-to-viewer strategies for documentarians’ attention. Do doc makers still need public media? How are public media operations changing to take advantage of new technologies and opportunities? Where are there windows of opportunity for new relationships?

 

Moderator:

Orlando Bagwell, Ford Foundation

 

 

Speakers:

Sally Jo Fifer, President, ITVS

Louis Wiley, Jr., senior producer, Frontline

Gillian Caldwell, WITNESS

Gareth Benest, OneWorld TV

Ian Inaba, Guerrilla News Network

 

Collaborating with Nonprofits

Finding the balance between funding for documentary films and social interest agendas. What do representatives from leading nonprofits look for in a strategic alliance with a media artist? The emphasis will be on media projects involving health issues.

 

Global Health Impact

A look at the positive impact social issue documentaries addressing health issues have had when accompanied by innovative community outreach and grassroots engagement. Case studies examine “Fight Malaria”, a prevention program in Uganda; “The Forgetting”, an Alzheimer’s awareness campaign in the US; and "Taint of Yingzhou District" improving care for AIDS orphans in China.
