AREA: Industrial/Corporate/Educational Film

Industrial/corporate/educational films, a category of non-fiction film, have
been a marginalized area of film study. Industrial/corporate/educational
films are viewed by thousands in schools, in corporations and in sales
meetings, yet the film companies, the filmmakers and the films themselves
receive little attention. This area seeks to explore the
industrial/corporate/educational film companies, the filmmakers and the
films.
