Le rôle pionnier des catholiques dans l’enseignement du cinéma en France

Abstract

This article examines the pioneering role played by Catholics in film teaching between 1945 and the Second Vatican Council. In questioning pedagogical frameworks and their implication for the position of the spectator, we attempt to re-examine the religious element in early cinema education. Although inheriting much from popular Catholic education in the post-war period, film teaching developed beyond the remit of denominational film clubs of the time.
