Non-Fiction Film Group
The aim of this project is to bring together a number of students and scholars from UC Berkeley whose work is concerned with issues of visual mimesis in film, new media and art and who are interested in sharing their own research and investigate communal workgrounds. Our hope is to better understand and promote the multi-faceted field of non-fiction film. Our calendar of events for the 2011/2012 academic year will be divided in two parts: in Fall 2011, we will meet on a bi-weekly basis to discuss a pre-established number of readings.

Video Embedding
The project aims to extract time-marked segments from DVDs in order to embed them in text documents (MSWord, pdf, and HTML formats). The hope is to devise a streamlined process, if not a single tool, that will allow film and video scholars to illustrate their writing with moving images and sound rather than film stills.
