    • Abstract:
      In the 1920s, the French government funded a rural cinema campaign designed to educate farmers about progressive farming techniques and to combat the "rural exodus" to the cities. This program, which brought film to the French countryside, is an early example of the state use of film for social change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
