The documentary currently holds a central place in reflection about cinematic and audiovisual production. We do not intend to restrain ourselves in a narrow definition of "documentary cinema", strictly related to more traditional production types. A contemporary definition goes much further: from the group of images that invade our daily lives via the TV and Internet, to the avant-garde experiments which are open to "intertextuality" and personal, first person, movies. The organization of the panels seeks to establish a horizon that covers this broad range of audiovisual productions, also focusing on Brazilian and Latin American documentary, instruction on documentary, and the ethical issues.

Panel 1: "Frontiers and Different Traditions of Non-fictional Cinema" – a reflection on the limits of non-fictional cinema and the borderlines it shares with fiction.

Panel 2: "Documentary and Avant-Garde Cinema" – discussion of the relationship of avant-garde cinema with non-fictional cinema.

Panel 3: "Documentary Production: from film to digital" – the impact of new technologies on documentary production and the perspectives brought to bear by introducing new media.

Panel 4: "Brazil, Latin America and the Documentary" – a panorama of documentary cinema in Latin America, yesterday and today.

Panel 5: "Documentary Instruction and Production" – the relationships between teaching and producing documentaries in the universities and a discussion of the works coming out of the "Iberian-American Sights" project.
