Seminar on Documentary Film led by Professor Michael Chanan of Roehampton University and Diane Myers of Leeds Universtiy.

Stimulated by Wiseman’s documentaries the two leaders will be asking questions about the documentary and its status in postmodernist media.

Professor Chanan will be asking questions about covert political agendas; Diane Myers will be looking at how the form has been developed by contemporary practitioners like Nick Broomfield.
