Abstract	The document presents two articles and six essays related to the use of film in history instruction on the college level. The first article reviews and evaluates a film survey course on Latin America which was offered at the University of California during the 1974-75 academic year. Evaluation of the course indicated that students did learn about certain features of Latin America in a vivid and dramatic fashion, in spite of numerous problems. These problems include an absence of analytical sophistication in evaluating media and a tendency among students to view course films in a passive manner. The second article briefly discusses teaching a course which requires the students to analyze films in terms of artistic techniques and devices peculiar to film. The essays were written by six students who participated in film and history courses on economic dislocation and migration and the conflict between law and justice. In these essays, students identified and discussed themes common to the films offered during each course and examined the use of film in history courses. The student essays express generally favorable attitudes toward using film in history courses, increased understanding of concepts dealt with by the filmmakers, and increased sophistication of film analysis techniques as a result of participating in a film and history course.
