Genres could include historical films attempting to define history, propaganda films, documentaries, docudramas, newsreels and broadcast media, war films, music videos and concert films, reality shows, avant-garde, cinema verite, actualities, and direct cinema.
Listed below are some suggestions for possible presentations and/or panels, but topics not included here are also welcome:
Historical eras and coverage of historical events

This year’s keynote address will be given by former New Mexico Governor David F. Cargo. David F. Cargo began his legislative career in the New Mexico State House of Representatives from 1963-1967, then served two terms as the Governor of New Mexico from 1967-1971. As Governor, David Cargo founded the New Mexico Film Commission, the first of its kind nationwide, which brought Hollywood film production to New Mexico. Continuing a tradition of governors who act, David Cargo played roles in several films such as The Gatling Gun (1973), Bunny O’Hare (1971), and Up in the Cellar (1971). Gov. Cargo holds a B.A., M.A., and law degree from the University of Michigan.
