| Description: | The Documentary Center is an expansion of a 19-year commitment at The George Washington University to teach documentary film production theory and techniques and to create documentary films for national audiences. Inaugurated in 1990 as The Center for History in the Media, the Documentary Center is one of the few educational centers in the nation that focuses exclusively on the production of non-fiction filmmaking. The Documentary Center is an interdisciplinary program at the school of media and public affairs in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences. The goals of the Center are: * To develop seminars and institutes to train individuals from across the professional and educational spectrum in the theory and techniques of documentary filmmaking. * To consult with broadcasters and production entities on the development of high quality documentaries and to promote the creation of national and international documentary showcases. * To produce documentary programming for national audiences. * To encourage the production of documentary films by emerging filmmakers. * To write for popular and scholarly publications on issues of concern in the creation and production of non-fiction films. The Documentary Center sponsors a wide-range of activities concerning reality films. Our central educational program is the annual six-month Institute for Documentary Filmmaking. In addition to serving as a consultant to many nascent documentary projects, we sponsor various community innitiatives such as Docs-in Progress, and filmmakers screening showcase and Women in Film and Video's professional development seminars. Finally, the Center produces award-winning documentary films for audiences accross the world. |
