“Alex Southern reminds us there are lessons to be learnt from the relatively short history of film. Film and media still struggle for a permanent role in education, but this case study suggests we may have been focusing too much on the politicians and not enough on the practitioners.” (Dr Paul Gerhardt, Director of Education, British Film Institute)
“In this monograph Alex Southern provides an in-depth historical account of the way in which film education has been constructed and reconstructed. The analysis of the experiment conducted by the Ministry of Education makes a vital and unique contribution to the field. Detailing the process of production, distribution and evaluation of these films enhances our shared understanding of the use of the moving image to educate, raising issues about representations of reality, objectivity and truth which are relevant across a wide range of disciplines.” (Becky Parry, School of Education, University of Nottingham, UK)
