First Person Filmmaking and Autobiographical Documentary
24 March 2010
One-day conference hosted by the Department of Applied Social Sciences,
London Metropolitan University
Event organised in collaboration with MeCCSA Practice Section and
co-funded by MeCCSA.
Venue: Henry Thomas Room, Tower Building, 166-220 Holloway Road, London
N7 8DB
Keynote speakers:
Professor Stella Bruzzi
Patrick Collerton
This conference sets out to explore this terrain with papers from
practitioners and theoreticians, examining a spectrum that stretches
from feature films like Grizzly Man to autobiographical user generated
content, from documentaries by Nick Broomfield and Morgan Spurlock to
the webcam videos uploaded on YouTube, the shorts on the BBC’s Video
Nation website to C4’s 3 Minute Wonders; from the use of home video in
‘autobiographical’ films like Tarnation, My Architect and Capturing the
Friedmans, to the ratings hit Who Do You Think You Are? and the
centrality of the confessional to artists’ films and the avant garde.
