The Film in National Life: Being the Report of an Enquiry Conducted by the Commission on Educational and Cultural Films into the Service which the Cinematograph May Render to Education and Social Progress


Overview

The Film in National Life (1932) is the report by the Commission on Educational and Cultural Films, established in 1929, that aimed to establish a position on the treatment of film constructively in the interests of education in its widest sense. The Commission was aware that other countries were taking the film seriously as an instrument of visual and aural instruction, as a means of entertainment, and as an art form, and sought to adopt a similar rational approach in the UK.
