Film and television have been accepted as having a pervasive
influence on how people understand the world. An important aspect
of this is the relationship of history and film. The different
views of the past created by film, television, and video are only
now attracting closer attention from historians, cultural critics,
and filmmakers. This volume seeks to advance the critical
exploration scholars have recently begun. Barta begins by
addressing the various ways the past is "screened" for our
understanding and relates the art of film to other media. The
essays that follow deal primarily with the changing perspectives of
political and social developments--and changing concepts of
ideology, gender, or culture--in films and television programs made
for historically shaped reasons. Chapters by filmmakers explore
issues of context and intent in their own projects. Scholars and
general readers interested in film and cultural studies will find
this an important volume.
