Exploring a realm of film often dismissed as campy or contrived,
this book traces the history of classroom educational films from
the silent era through the 1980s, when film finally began to lose
ground to video-based and digital media. It profiles 35 individual
academic filmmakers who played a role in bringing these roughly
110,000 16mm films to classrooms across North America, paying
particular attention to auteur John Barnes and his largely
neglected body of work. Other topics include: the production
companies contributing to the growth and development of the
academic film genre; the complex history of post-Sputnik,
federally-funded educational initiatives which influenced the
growth of the academic film genre; and the denouement of the genre
in classrooms and its resurgence on the Internet.
