The video revolution in the 1980s affected all areas of the
American entertainment industry; its impact was most
dramatic--ultimately devastating--to the non-theatrical film field.
"Non-theatrical film" is the term used to describe motion pictures
which are not shown in movie theaters, but are produced and/or
distributed to markets that include the educational community,
home, and business and industry. The author covers the early
Hollywood-produced features and short subjects in a format other
than 35mm for homes, hospitals and correctional institutions, as
well as industrial films. This is also the history of two major
non-theatrical libraries, Bell and Howell and Kodascope, both of
which were founded to service the needs of purchasers of the
then-newly introduced 16mm projectors. The book documents how the
advent of the 16mm projector made possible the introduction of
audio-visual aids in classrooms and offices. A number of production
companies were established, primarily in Chicago, to produce films
for this new outlet. In addition, Hollywood saw a new market and
began licensing distribution of the films. Complete with appendices
providing distributors from the 1920s-1940s and current names and
addresses of non-theatrical film sources, this book-length study of
the history of this film genre is both important and much needed.
