Hollywood’s history is, in a sense, a narrative of the battle between artistic freedom and heavy-handed restriction. This four-part series conveys that narrative through a progression of archival film clips spanning the bulk of motion picture history. In terms of the richness and sheer quantity of the selected footage, students will encounter few film studies resources that equal these programs; engaging voice reenactments from correspondence and the public record also shape the story. From Edison’s innocuous Kinetoscope kiss to Brando’s animal intensity in A Streetcar Named Desire to the unabashed eroticism of Basic Instinct, the series chronicles a parade of cinematic sins and the pious and bureaucratic reprisals they inspired. 4-part series, 50-72 minutes each.
