	Propaganda film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A propaganda film is a film, often a documentary, produced for the express purpose of propaganda: convincing the viewer of a certain political point.
		Arguably one of the earliest films to be used for propaganda purposes was The Birth of a Nation, although it was not produced for the purposes of indoctrination.
		Despite the controversial subject, the film is still recognized today as one of the most powerful films in history, with revolutionary approaches in both music and cinematography.

	Propaganda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Propaganda also has much in common with public information campaigns by governments, which are intended to encourage or discourage certain forms of behavior (such as wearing seat belts, not smoking, not littering, or so forth).
		Propaganda, in this sense, serves as a corollary to censorship in which the same purpose is achieved, not by filling people's minds with approved information, but by preventing people from being confronted with opposing points of view.
		Such permeating propaganda may be used for political goals: by giving citizens a false impression of the quality or policies of their country, they may be incited to reject certain proposals or certain remarks, or ignore the experience of others.

	War and Anti-War Films
		Themes explored in war films include combat, survivor and escape stories, tales of gallant sacrifice and struggle, studies of the futility and inhumanity of battle, the effects of war on society, and intelligent and profound explorations of the moral and human issues.
		War films have often been used as 'flag-waving' propaganda to inspire national pride and morale, and to display the nobility of one's own forces while harshly displaying and criticizing the villainy of the enemy, especially during war or in post-war periods.
		The Big Parade (1925) was a new kind of war film, and the first to realistically portray the horrors of battle and the struggle for survival by three soldier-comrades (a bartender, a riveter, and a millionaire's son) in the trenches.

	disinformation \| film melodrama and sociological propaganda (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Archival film scholar Stephen Neale noted that melodrama in 1950s and 1960s film studies criticism was often used as "a pejorative term.
		Instead, the term "melodrama" was used in war, adventure, thriller, and horror films, and Neale found little correlation of a critical shift during the 1960s.
		He consequently contended that these films offered a womanly "version of the tension and thrills offered putatively to men by more conventional action melodramas and thrillers." [17] The last time that you saw an action-suspense-thriller, you were being lied to.

	Sport Journal, Leni Riefenstahl's "Olympia": Brilliant Cinematography or Nazi Propaganda?
		There are two parts to the film: the first begins with a history of the Olympic games, depicting the traditions of the ancient games in the city of Olympia and continues with many of the field events of the 1936 Berlin games; the second features the track and field events of the Berlin Games.
		One of the strongest arguments supporting the notion that "Olympia" was a propaganda film (sociological) is also one of the strongest arguments supporting the notion that it was not a propaganda film: the perceived objectivity of the film and what appears to be an unbiased representation of the athletes, nations and games in general.
		Riefenstahl's resistance to comply with such a high figures in the Nazi regime leads credence to her claim that the film was not produced for propaganda purposes.

		The film, which began shooting last week in Spain, is set in the time of King Baldwin IV (1161-1185), leading up to the Battle of Hattin in 1187 when Saladin conquered Jerusalem for the Muslims.
		He said that...the completed film was basically an action film and compared its believability and intellectual level to 'The Black Knight', a piece of 50's hokum in which Alan Ladd plays an English knight who thwarts a plan by the evil Sir Palamides (Peter Cushing in flface) to help the Saracens invade England.
		And in a further indication of just how controversial this film may become, this article in a British Christian online magazine claims that Christian groups may attempt to boycott the film (which, in my opinion, is usually a bad idea, and ends up in the long run garnering more publicity for a bad film).

		The author, Fritz Hippler, was an employee in the film section of the Propaganda Ministry.
		It also makes it plain why film's relatively great costs "pay off": film stock, equipment, studios, the large technical and artistic staffs, etc., all cost a lot of money, but the result, the finished film, may bring in tens of thousands whose admission fees not only cover the costs, but result in a good profit.
		It is foolish and short-sighted for bourgeois aesthetes to shake their heads and say that film cannot be art, that it is a danger to the theater.

	Dhimmi Watch: Anti-Jewish propaganda film shown in Dutch mosques
		That may be because, as you suggest, that the film has something, "to do with Islam." My reading is slightly different: the Dutch authorities will do nothing because the film promotes antisemitsm and as long as it's confined to Jew-hatred the majority of Europeans don't care or might even agree with the film's premise.
		As for the film being shown at the Dutch mosques, it should be a shoo-in for the Pieter Menten Prize at the next Dutch Film Festival.
		As for the obscene propaganda film, any decent journalist would be knocking on the door of the mosque, cameras rolling, to make inquiries about their showing of the film.

		Pacific Justice Institute attorney Brad Dacus said school districts and teachers can legally show the film in the classroom, even though many school administrators mistakenly believe talking about those who have left the gay lifestyle is taking a religious point of view.
