Learning With the Lights Off is the first collection of essays to
address the phenomenon of film's educational uses in twentieth
century America. Nontheatrical films in general and educational
films in particular represent an exciting new area of inquiry in
media and cultural studies. This collection illuminates a vastly
influential form of filmmaking seen by millions of people around
the world. The essays reveal significant insights into film's
powerful role in twentieth century American culture as a medium of
instruction and guidance. The book features an ambitious
introductory overview of educational film practices that provides
readers with a sense of how important a role film has played in
producing knowledge in America both inside the classroom and out.
Each essay analyzes in close detail some crucial aspect of
educational film history, ranging from case studies of films and
filmmakers, to analyses of genres, to broader historical
assessments. Offering links to many of the films under discussion
at the Internet Archive, readers will be able to easily watch for
themselves many of the films studied within the book's pages.
Learning With the Lights Off is both reader and classroom friendly,
affording new opportunities for studying these often hard-to-find
films.
