Show Idea – Ephemeral
Posted on June 5th, 2009 by François Caron.Do you remember those movies from the fifties and sixties that were shown in school or at community events to inform (or misinform) the general public? Civil defense films, health and hygiene films, science films, propaganda films, war department films…
On “Ephemeral”, a different film will be viewed each week, and a guest panel of experts, community organizers and concerned citizens will discuss the relevance of the information presented in the film. Is the information accurate? Or is the film a twisted and potentially dangerous piece of propaganda that could do more harm than good?
Most of the films will be provided by The Perlinger Archives available at The Internet Archives.

thats good.
sort of like a panel discussion about educational films ?
im up for it. All the more education we can get out there for people the better.
From FC: That’s exactly what it is. Some of these films are downright outrageous, while others are incredibly accurate even though they can still creep you out.
