Two opposing
views dominate discussion of cinema and film in the world history classroom. One view is that humans are visual learners
and film can increase student learning and understanding, and the other is that
cinema and film is too often inaccurate history leaving "false"
impressions with students.
Critics claim
that film and cinema are not "as it was" believing that their nature
is first to entertain, and in many cases, romanticize historical events and
characters. Thus, film destroys the reality of historical research and teaching
real history to students. As early as 1915, D.W. Griffith, America's first
great movie producer and director, believed that, "Children in public schools
will be taught practically everything by moving pictures. Certainly, they
will never be obliged to read history again.1 In 1969, William Arrowsmith, Professor
of Classics, Arts and Literature, University of Texas, proclaimed with
"distress and sadness" that the future of literature and arts, and
others have included history, lies with film replacing them "in the
traditional curriculum."2
Supporters of
film and cinema in the history classroom focus on modern students as
"visual learners" saturated with social media and images, concluding
that film and cinema, plus many other types of media and technology are a
necessary tool for teaching history. They go on to add using screen images as
another part of teaching the "historian's craft" of analysis is,
simply, another strategy to study history.
Daniel Reynaud,
at Avondale College, Australia, claimed the most valuable use of historical
movies is not so much as documents about events, but as documents about the
significance of the events for the culture that made the films. For example,
American movies about the Civil War or the Vietnam War may be poor sources of
fact and chronology, but they are fascinating testimonies as to the attitudes
of Americans towards those conflicts at the time the films were made. Convict
era and Gallipoli films reveal more about why these events are important in
Australia.3
Shane Denson
and Ruth Mayer have suggested inviting students to consider how historical
incidents, historical characters can change over time as they move from books,
novels to TV to film. They discuss how narrative characters like Frankenstein's
monster, Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, Fu Manchu, Fantomas, Superman, and
Batman change over time due to "different media forms" affecting
"the contents of serial narration," as well as how characters can
change as they shift from novel to film, to radio, to TV to computer games,
especially in the colonial and decolonial era, 1880-1960.4
And, finally,
cinema and film can be used in a comparative framing of history where students
and teachers struggle with different historical memory which Michael
Conway has claimed is true history education. In a 2015 article for The Atlantic, Conway, employed recent movies such as Selma (for
its characterization of Lyndon Baines Johnson), Lincoln, The Iron Lady, and APUSH curriculum redesign(s) to
supply evidence for arguing against "single-perspective narratives"
as they are a disservice to history students. He concluded that students and
teachers grappling with "contested histories/memories" is much more
effective history education.5
The
following digital resources for teaching world history with film and cinema
include film documentaries, Hollywood, Nollywood, Bollywood, and many other
regional cinema; Film Noir, British Pathé; state educational and news agency
film clips, news clips, propaganda film; and other forms of screen images.
Lessons, syllabi, analytical resources are included, along with criticism and
defenses for using film and cinema in the world history classroom. The
order of presentation is "General Film and World History resources,"
"Pedagogy," "Gender," and specific regional examples.

History is written by the victors is as true for history film as it is for
historical record. The historical film is created (written, produced,
directed, and funded) by--and for the victors who represent the interests of
the dominant culture. This is particularly true for Hollywood films about
indigenous peoples. See analysis of 4 global films.

February 4, 2019. Enver Hoxha was president of Albania from 1944 to his death
in 1985. He left a complex legacy of
industrialization, isolationism, paranoia and economic stagnation in his wake. He used fear of 'invaders' to keep power with
'mushroom cloud' bunkers as a metaphor for protecting the Albanian people. In addition to purging political rivals, Hoxha
believed that his country risked being invaded by any number of perceived
foreign foes, including NATO forces and former Soviet bloc allies. In
preparation for an invasion that never came, Hoxha sunk much of the country's
resources and manpower into building some 750,00 bunkers throughout Albania,
even as many of his people struggled to meet their most basic needs, declaring
that "The bunkers are our cathedral, our scar. They are part of our face." Mushrooms
of Concrete explores the contemporary lives of these 'bunkers of an
imaginary war'. Still omnipresent throughout the Albanian countryside, today
they exist as monuments of a difficult past, even as some have been transformed
into storage facilities, tourist attractions, clubs and restaurants.
