Summary: | The political faces of the French Republic, Mussolini’s Fascist Italy and the United States of America in the Twenties are totally distinct. Nevertheless, the way these countries used educational and teaching films at the time was the product of the same intention: the transmission of the founding values of their respective systems of government. These values are, in France, the inheritance of the Enlightenment, strengthened by the republican ideals stemming from the French Revolution and the state educational model created by Jules Ferry; in Italy, Mussolini’s Nationalist Postulate, and his desire to form a “New Man”, a “regenerated race” of Italians and in the US, the raising of moral standards and the affirmation of inter-culturalism in the already well implanted notion of the “American Way of Life”. Distributed in schools and educational circles, these films, today forgotten, propose a symptomatic example of state propaganda in times of peace. |
