Scope and Contents
The Urban/Rural Studies series consists of twelve films dating from 1946 to 1981. Some of the films in this series, such as “The Troubled Cities”, “Three Cures for a Sick City” and “Abandonment of the Cities”, address crises within cities and discuss possible solutions. Other films depict everyday life in a city (“Big Town” and “The City”) or a specific city (“Lewes: A Town by the Sea” and “Why save Florence?”). “Home Country USA” looks at the life of skilled workers in rural communities. Of note is the Robert Flaherty film “Nanook of the North”, a document of the everyday lifestyle of a Canadian Inuit and his family.
