British India: Special programmes for children have turned out to be financial failures. It has been suggested, as in England, that certain films should be shown only to adults. According to the English press it would appear that this system is not satisfactory. Children are allowed into the cinemas where these films are shown in the company of adults so that many children go in accompanied by adults with whom they are unacquainted and thus witness the films.
The great number of useful forms which the Cinema can assume with an equally great number of different ends naturally made the discussion of the third point of the agenda very animated. In fact the discussion around the report furnished by Madame Dulac was keenly followed and resolved itself for the most part into a treatment of the problem of the educational film. It ended in the adoption of the following resolution.
The Conference welcomes the resolution taken by the Standing Committee of the League of Nations on Arts and Letters, July gth, 1931 which expresses the principles already adopted by the International Council of Women and reads as follows: " The Committee
Convinced that the cinematograph is a valuable means of acquainting the different nations with the noblest and highest aspects of creative art in all its forms;
Requests the Committee on Intellectual Co-operation to draw the attention of the International Institute of Educational Cinematograph to the desirability of bringing about by appropriate means, the inclusion of an educational film in each cinematograph programme ".
Having regard to the important place which the cinema occupies to-day, it is essential to take all necessary steps to help in the diffusion of educational films, which would encourage film producing companies to their greater production; to establish a close co-operation between producers, scholars, and teachers for the making of instructional films or films to broaden ideas on hygiene, science, art, etc.
On the other hand, the Conference looking at the matter from an educational point of view, hopes that historical truth will be respected.
