Campaigning On Celluloid: How Cinema Informs and Reflects Changing Political Communication on Screen
A lecture with former Congressman Steve Israel
Join Steve Israel, former Congressman, owner of Theodore's Books, and director of the non-partisan Cornell University Institute of Politics and Global Affairs, as we kickoff our four-day Political Film Festival with a lively talk exploring the fascinating ways that American politics and Hollywood cinema have shaped each other, featuring campaign ads from Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Reagan; numerous clips from classic movies, including: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, State of the Union, The Last Hurrah, The Candidate, The American President, Primary Colors, and Swing Vote; and excerpts from hit television series House of Cards and Veep. Whether you’re a political junkie or a movie buff, this will be richly rewarding deep-dive into the complex relationship between politics and movies.
