Historians investigate the relationships between film, culture, and
energy. American Energy Cinema explores how Hollywood movies have
portrayed energy from the early film era to the present. Looking at
classics like Giant, Silkwood, There Will Be Blood, and Matewan,
and at quirkier fare like A Is for Atom and Convoy, it argues that
films have both reflected existing beliefs and conjured new visions
for Americans about the role of energy in their lives and their
history. The essays in this collection show how film provides a
unique and informative lens to understand perceptions of energy
production, consumption, and infrastructure networks. By placing
films that prominently feature energy within historical context and
analyzing them as historical objects, the contributing authors
demonstrate how energy systems of all kinds are both integral to
the daily life of Americans and inextricable from larger societal
changes and global politics.
