ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to establish the complexities inherent in the conception of film as a radical pedagogic tool at this particular historical conjuncture and to give some consideration to the social, political, and ethical imperatives that make such a conceptualization of film and pedagogy necessary. Inside Film runs practical workshops where the students can learn to use a film camera and familiarize themselves with the necessary editing software to edit their films. Inside Film attempts to provide an alternative model of crime that moves way from the hegemonic notion of the criminal and the neutrality of the justice system. Crime is generally considered to be the work of an individual who intentionally harms someone else either directly and physically though violence or indirectly and economically as in the case of burglary. Politicians stay stoically silent with respect to crimes committed by middle class 'respectables'.
