La jornada se plantea como un intercambio de experiencias de investigadores/as sobre su trabajo en archivos de distintos ámbitos y perfiles, incluyendo la Filmoteca Vasca, el Archivo Nacional (España), la Cinématèque Française, los archivos de documental del museo de cine de Tesalónica (Grecia), los OSA Archives de Budapest (Hungría), el Institute of Documentary Film de Praga (República Checa), el Eye Museum de Amsterdam (Holanda) o el archivo del Festival de San Sebastián (en proceso de creación).
El objetivo es hablar tanto de cuestiones prácticas (procedimientos de acceso y gestión de permisos para acceder a los archivos, formas de organización y búsqueda de documentos, problemas y desafíos del trabajo en archivo), así como de contenidos y tipos de materiales que se pueden encontrar en estos archivos.
De esta manera pretendemos abordar cuestiones metodológicas sobre el estudio del cine (pero también de otro tipo de prácticas en comunicación en general) y reflexionar sobre cuestiones prácticas y teóricas que permiten entender mejor el trabajo “de campo” del investigador/a.

The Festival Ecosystem as Documentary Breeding Ground
This paper offers an overview of film festivals which have included documentary film in their programs (be they specialized: IDFA, HotDocs, DokLeipzig, Visions du Réel; thematic: Sundance, Jean Rouch, Margaret Mead; or A-list/generalist: Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Locarno, Toronto), to reflect on how their selection procedures have contributed to the new conceptions of the genre, widening its definition and opening it to creative approaches historically associated to fiction and experimental film. Using such prominent documentaries as Être et avoir (To be and to have, Nicolas Philibert, 2002), Fahrenheit 9/11 (Michael Moore, 2004), or Leviathan (Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Verena Paravel, 2012) as case studies, Dr Vallejo will reflect on the evolution of the incorporation of documentary film in the festival programs, through the reconstruction of their festival careers, giving new insights into the mutual influence of text and context in the development of contemporary film cultures.

Title: Documentary Film Festivals in Europe: Mapping the Field
In the last two decades documentary film festivals spread throughout the European continent. During this process, different international dynamics of interaction and cultural hierarchies were developed among these events. In this frame, new cultural networks of film circulation were created, and specialized festivals became key agents for the development of new trends in film production and distribution.
In this seminar we will reflect on the role of these festivals in the development of a new documentary culture which has redefined the genre in a period of hybridization and search for new formats. Firstly, we will give an overview of the recent development in the study of film festivals, and analyze the possibilities opened up for research in the specific area of documentary film, and secondly, we will provide an overview of Documentary Film Festivals in Europe from a historical perspective. Departing from the reconstruction of the map of documentary festivals appeared in the last decades, we will identify different phases in which they acquired international relevance.
