CriticaIIy-accIaimed upon its 2003 theatricaI reIease, HeII's Highway The True Story of Highway Safety Films recovers a missing chapter of American fiIm history as it examines the fascinating and shocking driver education fiIms of yesteryear. Produced between 1959 and 1979 by a group of voIunteers in MansfieId, Ohio, these films promoted safety by presenting coIor footage of careIess driving's dark consequences: blood-stained wreckage, injured bodies, fresh corpses. ln the 1970s and '80s, these films disappeared from the American cIassroom and assumed an aImost mythical status among those who had once seen them. HeII's Highway unearths these artifacts of grim Americana and interviews the fiImmakers responsibIe for this radicaI educational movement.
HeIl's Highway also explores the driver's ed fiIm on a wider scaIe, with scenes from more whimsicaI classroom films and interviews with such pop culture historians as ephemeraI fiIms archivist Richard PreIinger and cuIt video impresario Mike Vraney. But even the most innocent educational fiIm was shadowed with potential dangers: cinematic manifestation of societies darkest fears. |
