Thursday, April 7, 2005 7:00-8:30 p.m., BC-Auditorium (via the magic of satellite video teleconferencing)

Writers from "the most trusted name in fake news" will discuss their unique brand of satiric news, how ideas are generated and turned into a script, and their opinions on the show being held up as "real" news. Tentative Panel: Stephen Colbert, Daily Show correspondent Rob Kutner, Chris Regan, and Jason Reich, Daily Show writers

The Passion of Politics: What is the Future of the Political Documentary?
Tuesday, April 12, 2005 6:00-7:30 p.m.(via the magic of satellite video teleconferencing)
Last year Michael Moore and the Swift Boat Veterans proved that there was a passionate audience for partisan documentaries. This panel discussion will address whether the politically charged films that made headlines in 2004 have transformed the craft and mission of the documentary. Panelists will consider if filmmakers are now expected to bring a strong political viewpoint to a project before filming starts and to appeal to a specific audience. The long-term implications of the partisan documentary will also be examined, with executives and distributors discussing upcoming projects. Panel: Robert Drew, "Primary" Eugene Jarecki, "Why We Fight" Alexandra Pelosi, "Journeys with George" Thom Powers, "Guns and Mothers" Ted Steinberg, Celsius 41.11: The Temperature at Which the Brain Begins to Die Paul Stekler, "Last Man Standing"
