Although overlooked by most narratives of American cinema history,
films made for purposes outside of theatrical entertainment
dominated twentieth-century motion picture production. This volume
adds to the growing study of nontheatrical films by focusing on the
ways filmmakers developed and audiences encountered ideas about
race, identity, politics, and community outside the borders of
theatrical cinema. The contributors to Screening Race in American
Nontheatrical Film examine the place and role of race in
educational films, home movies, industry and government films,
anthropological films, and church films as well as other forms of
nontheatrical filmmaking. From filmic depictions of Native
Americans and films by 1920s African American religious leaders to
a government educational film about the unequal treatment of Latin
American immigrants, these films portrayed-for various purposes and
intentions-the lives of those who were mostly excluded from the
commercial films being produced in Hollywood. This volume is more
than an examination of a broad swath of neglected twentieth-century
filmmaking; it is a reevaluation of basic assumptions about
American film culture and the place of race within it.
