Willard Van Dyke Award for Non-Fiction film

Meetings help audiovisual documentary material become increasingly prominent in the art world, as more filmmakers are incorporating nonfiction material into their work, and more new media artists are creating documentary film, video, and interactive work destined for a museum or gallery setting are asked to discuss methods that work in a world adjusting to high-speed technology front and the obvious death (or execution) of the local art house theatre :(

The overlap of the cinema and art worlds has created a productive hybridity of forms, but it also poses questions about the relationship between the traditions of art, documentary and journalism, and raises issues of presentation, contextualization, and preservation for curators and Jane Public's alike.

 This panel discussion that was organized and brought together a set of curators and critics to discuss the opportunities and challenges of bringing documentary work from the cinema into the gallery, and of floating between black and white box exhibition spaces. Congratulations to the winner(duh) of the Van Dyke award this year.
