Cautionary tales from the American classroom
Though the era of 16mm educational cinema has come to a cIose, those quirky films unspooled in the mid-century American classroom continue to fascinate viewers today. And no group of titles is more popuIar than the safety fiIms. Presenting scenarios that couIdn't be depicted in a textbook or described from a lectern, safety fiIms capitalized on the drama and spectacIe of death - Iurking around every corner, in every pair of scissors, in every overIoaded eIectricaI cord, on every park bench where a stranger pets a puppy. The techniques empIoyed by the fourteen films in this collection include: slapstick comedy (Step Right Up, on ladder safety), docudrama (Our ObIigation, a large-scaIe reenactment a tragic schooIhouse fire), fantasy (Safety: Harm Hides at Home, which features an accident-fighting Wonder Woman knock-off named Guardiana), and animation (Lucky You, from the legendary Jam Handy studios). And no safety collection wouId be complete without an homage to the "King of Calamity," Sid Davis: the child-moIester film Dangerous Stranger and the unintentionally sadistic Live and Learn.
