INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF ROME 341
b) the systematic documentation of everything done in all countries to elevate the hygienic and social level of the masses ;
c) the spreading of results of experiments made in other countries in order that the most suitable type of programmes for each country may be determined :
d) the production of films of a true international character by means of scenes taken in different localities both to testify to the universality of the evils which we must fight and also to allow the widest possible distribution of the means of propaganda ;
8) Requests that the interpretation of the Customs Convention should be extended to apply to those films of a recreational character obviously having for object the propaganda for social hygiene and prevention ;
9) Believes — in the matter of production — that short films may be either silent or talking, and that those which are clearly of a propaganda character destined for localities where the cultural level of the masses is not sufficiently high to follow talking comment, should be preferably in silent editions helped out possibly with comment from a lecturer ;
10) Points out the great utility of the fdm in the matter of anti-venereal propaganda and urges a wider production and diffusion of general propaganda films to be projected also in public cinemas and films of special propaganda to be projected before certain categories of persons ;
11) Considering that workmen's accidents must be regarded in many cases as psychological facts :
that therefore a greater development in the study of psychological technicology should be made in order to understand better the individual in regard to his work ;
that to create in the mind of the workman the idea of defence against accident and to facilitate as well work of scientific research and study the cinema offers the best possible methods compared to all others in use to-day ;
that, for this purpose the film can be limited simply to documentation and to technical and scientific research, or it can seek even in comedy or dramatic form which may respond better to the mentality of the working public the motive force which can move and instruct at the same time ;
proposes that industrial organizations and national and international institutions, which are engaged in the problems of work, make a wider use of the cinema in their propaganda against industrial accidents ;
that they study those types of films which may prove best suited to different kinds of work in the fields of industry and agriculture ;
that they work to develop such activity in industrial and agricultural fields and in every other field where it may contribute to the popularization of scientific, social and human principles.
That such activity should be co-ordinated through the work of the Institute of Rome, so that films for demonstrating the prevention of accidents and first aid can, by their character, become a useful instrument of propaganda likely to obtain the widest possible international circulation.
