Abstract
This chapter discusses the possibilities of using film in American government and politics courses. The use of feature films in a syllabus has generally been restricted to examination of their artistic merit. Acting, photography, and directing are examined minutely by students in Arts Faculties. At the same time use of feature films in non-Arts subjects often meets with opposition. Many social scientists see such fiction as being in no way a part of their data set, and some artists contend that films may only be understood after intimate study of genre, directorial style, and frame-by-frame analysis. Given this skepticism, as well as the problems of financing a film-based course, the opportunities to experiment with such a form of teaching have not been widespread.
