This volume addresses the underscrutinised topic of cinema
newsreels. These short, multi-themed newsfilms, usually accompanied
by explanatory intertitles or voiceovers, were a central part of
the filmgoing experience around the world from 1910 through the
late 1960s, and in many cases even later. As the only source of
moving image news available before the widespread advent of
television, newsreels are important social documents, recording
what the general public was told and shown about the events and
personalities of the day. Often disregarded as quirky or trivial,
they were heavily utilised as propaganda vehicles, offering
insights into the socio-political norms reflected in cinema during
the first half of the twentieth century. The book presents a range
of current research being undertaken in newsreel studies
internationally and makes a case for a reconsideration of the
importance of newsreels in the wider landscape of film history.
