How the all-electric home emancipates women: a drama of how the women in the family manipulate their men to upgrade the laundry facilities. (The Prelinger Archives are a source of educational material, mainly ordered by theme, giving a vision of the dark side, the underbelly, perhaps naive of the American dream and the America that is often hidden behind the media curtain.)
UntitledCold War cartoon aimed at American workers with the objective of convincing them of their good fortune.

UntitledThe Law of Silence, a graduation documentary from La Fémis by Moïra Chappedelaine-Vautier, Nadia Zibat, and Raoul Seigneur, explores the 1963 Amnesty Law and its consequences on research conducted about the Algerian War. It features interviews conducted in 2002 with Henri Alleg, director of the Alger Républicain newspaper from 1951 to 1955, and Pierre Vidal-Naquet, historian and essayist. The film also includes striking statements from General Massu and lawyers who dismantle the legal defenses of figures like Jean-Marie Le Pen. Moïra not only gives voice to her father, René Vautier, but also reuses footage he shot forty years earlier. A very compelling documentary that reminds us, among other things, that amnesty is not forgiveness, but the erasure of both the sentence and the crime itself.

UntitledWhen Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer commissioned James A. FitzPatrick's globe-trotting series of short films called Traveltalks, little did they realize the lasting entertainment value these seemingly innocuous one-reelers would possess. Each masterfully crafted film offers precious, priceless glimpses of people and lands soon to be invaded by the homogenizing influences of modern technology and consumer culture.
UntitledFor centuries, parents have struggled to usher their children through the magical, often treacherous, journey to adulthood. But in mid-century America, a new form of tutelage was engineered: the classroom film. Suddenly, the prickly issues of sexual development and juvenile delinquency could be addressed in tidy, ten-minute sermons disguised as dramas. To deal with the subtleties of behavior and the importance of fitting in, "social guidance" films were made on such topics as coping with failure (Planning For Success) and teasing (The Other Fellow's Feelings).
UntitledHis Name Was Not Frankenstein
The fragmented face and the wrath of the clan
Faculty of Geography and History, room 409, Universitat de Barcelona, Montalegre 6
Why do we find the fragmented face of Frankenstein’s Monster so fascinating? The monster in the 1931film was certainly one of the most successfully characterisations in the history of cinema, but there issomething more: it raises a question that goes beyond the creen and has something to do with the idea of that spectre haunting Europe that opens The Communist Manifesto.
The workshop will dissect the film Dr. Frankenstein (1931) to try and understand how terror and dreams are connected in the logic of the fight against the master.
The films of Cuban director Santiago Alvarez exist as a kind of fractured mirror on the last 40 years of American history - a subversive alternate history. A film career that began only with the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959 and continued until his death in 1998. This is a compilation of his films: Now, Cerro Pelado, Hanoi Martes 13, Hasta la Victoria Siempre, L.B.J., 79 Primaveras, El Sueno del Pongo and El Tigre Saltó y Mató... Morirá... Morirá.
