This study guide for high school and college students examines selected, revolutionary political films made by Godard, Rocha, Solanas, Sanjines, and others, notably Czech and Cuban film-makers. This guide stresses an aesthetic, auteuristic approach and touches upon film production procedures. The films recommended for study range in technique from simple to complex and include sound and silent, black and white, and color modes, but all deal in some way with revolutionary politics. The political content is examined in relationship to the aesthetic form. (CH)
