| Popis | In parallel with the tendency to equip classrooms with 16mm film projectors for screening educational films, school pupils in Czechoslovakia attended film screenings in ordinary cinemas during morning school lessons. During these screenings, pupils saw feature films from ordinary distribution, considered as "culturally appropriate", usually historical films or adaptations of major literary works. In sum, this is the common knowledge about this practice, while a detailed study of its background concepts and its organisation has not been done yet. This type of screenings, however, reflects a number of ideological aspects specific to the Czechoslovak post-war film exhibition practice in general (communist cultural politics vs. spectator education, formation of child viewer, visions of culturally ideal film, etc.). This paper reveals the key ideological actors (institutions) negotiating about programs for schools, outline their approach and will focus primarily on the comparison of the situation before and after the communist coup in 1948, and differences between programming for schools in the centre and in the regions. |
