documentaries and becomming involved with documentary filmmakers here
in the US and in the international community.

Hi,

American markets and documentary series for National Geographic.

of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, filmed from both sides of the
conflict.

Hi. I'm a professor of film and video at american univesity in

films and a bunch of stuff for nonprofits. A lot of my doc work has
been in eastern europe, mainly the czech republic. I just finished a
four part series for pbs video on learning disabilities. I teach

Hi, I'm a student of Visual Anthropology at CSU-Fullerton. My aim is
to bring anthropological theory to documentary films. Two other
students and myself have founded a little production company to do
subject-centered docs. We have only finished one and would
appreciate advice on just about anything from anyone. How's that for
open to suggestions?

Hi,

I am an MA student in Documentary Research at London College of
Printing in London. I made a documentary film in Sydney Australia
and am currently working on my final project for the MA, a feature-
length historical docudrama, for which I also intend to write the
script. I am also currently trying to get my first professional film
made, having thoroughly researched it. It's a 35-40 minute science

Looking forward to getting involved in this discussion group!

Best wishes
