    Propaganda uses media like film and cinema to influence public opinion. During the 20th century, authoritarian regimes widely used propaganda films to promote their ideologies. Mussolini was the first to recognize cinema as a powerful propaganda tool. Examples include Soviet film Battleship Potemkin (1925) and fascist film Old Guard (1934). Nazi film Stukas (1941) aimed to recruit soldiers and incite war. While propaganda films were more common historically, some modern films still reflect their creators' political messages, like The Hunger Games mocking revolution. Cinemas effectively spread propaganda through ads, films, and attracting large audiences.

    CINEMA

    AND PROPAGANDA
    Ariona Alisinani, Clizia Quaglio, Daniele Rimondi
    WHAT IS PROPAGANDA?
    Propaganda is the diffusion of information, facts, arguments, rumours
    and truths or lies; to influence public opinion.
    propaganda is very different from casual conversation or free and easy
    exchange of ideas because it has a characteristic of deliberateness and a
    relatively heavy emphasis on manipulation.
    PROPAGANDA IN CINEMAS

    Cinemas were and still are a very reliable, good and easy place to spread an ideology and
    arguments.
    - Ads
    The message is immediate and simple
    - Film messages
    People go to cinemas to watch films that might send a message and propaganda.
    You can also create a film revolving around a message
    - People also go to the cinema for fun so it is very easy
    because the people come to you and you don't have to
    do anything

    Mussolini was the first person to use cinema for


    propaganda purposes, he also called it “the strongest
    weapon in the state”.
