Cinema and Society
This series examines the connections between films and societies which produce them. Film as entertainment, film as myth, film as propaganda, film as national expression and film as historical evidence are all aspects of the subject that have been covered. The series is built on the assumption that film helps us to understand the changing social and sexual roles of men and women, attitudes to race and class, peace and war, love and death, in many cultures during the twentieth century.
