Film Analysis Project While content analysis and accumulation of information regarding films of all kinds is one of the continuing projects of the Film Council of America, this process has recently been accelerated with the undertaking of analysis for potential television use of more than 1,000 films in certain subject-matter fields for the Educational Television and Radio Center established by the Fund for Adult Education. Research into available films, their status as to content, and specific program suggestions for attaining certain educational program objectives constitute the bulk of this activity.
