Comments:	The Film/Movie Industry History covers about 12 decades and 5 continents. Over that time there have been 2 World Wars, numerous civil conflicts, social upheavals, a Cold War, space exploration and the development of weapons of mass destruction. The movie industry began life as a novelty and soon became a form of entertainment and an escape from reality. For the select few the industry became a financial bonanza. Others, however, saw the medium as a method to exploit ideas and propaganda. During the mid- twentieth century scholars began to see the medium as a form of expression Whereby thoughts and ideas could be expressed and thus it could be considered an art-form. Over the six sessions on the Tuesdays and Thursdays we will identify and view some important Personnel from some countries and see how their films record past and current history in an endeavour to assist us in developing a wider understanding of this medium and its impact. Six films will be presented and with the time available a discussion will take place. Whilst it is not Mandatory, it would be beneficial to attend all sessions.
Additional Comments and Prerequisite:	Whilst it is not Mandatory, it would be beneficial to attend all sessions.
