Europe On-screen
Comprised of fact sheets on 50 films, illustrating 4 themes - nationalism, women, immigration and human rights -, it encourages teachers to exploit cinema as a source of 20th-century history and provides a pedagogical basis to do so. (from CoE website)
The Shoah on Screen
This publication considers how cinema, as a major modern art form, has covered topics relating to the Holocaust in documentaries and fiction, historical reconstructions and more symbolic films, focusing on the question of realism in ethical and artistic terms. It explores a range of issues, including whether cinema is an appropriate method for informing people about the Holocaust compared to other media such as CD-ROMs, video or archive collections; whether it is possible to inform and appeal to the emotions without being explicit; and how the medium can nurture greater sensitivity among increasingly younger audiences which have been inured by the many images of violence conveyed in the media. Films discussed include Schindler's List, Life is Beautiful, The Pianist, Sophie's Choice, Shoah, Au revoir les enfants, The Great Dictator and To Be or Not to Be.

Costa-Gavras
Costa-Gavras: Encounters with History explores the life and work of the director intertwined with historical and socio-political events, from the early stages of his career: emigrating to France from Greece in 1955 and first studying at the Sorbonne, then focusing on filmmaking at IDHEC, now La Fémis. He became an internationally respected director, first with his Oscar-award winning film Z (1969) and continued with a vast array of films, including his most recent work, Adults in the Room (2019). His films portray the complexities of human nature, relationships challenged by historical and contemporary socio-political issues. In this overview of the director's films, the authors shed light ...
Teaching about the Holocaust in the 21st Century
Given the rise of anti-Semitism in parts of Europe, the accessibility of "denial" Internet sites and the isolationist stand taken by certain European political leaders today, Holocaust teaching was given an important place in Council of Europe's history project. Although some countries have high standards for Holocaust teaching, others are lacking in material. This teaching resource is based on the work of such widely recognised authors as Raul Hilberg, Sir Martin Gilbert, Saul Friedlander and Christopher Browning, plus first-hand accounts, including those of Primo Levi, Hermann Langbein and Claude Lanzmann's interviewees. It offers teachers a body of knowledge for use in course planning and brings to the forefront facts and figures on victims often "overlooked", Roma/Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses. What emerges from the succinct descriptions of how and where this genocide was carried out is the comprehensiveness of the Nazi enterprise.
L'Europe à l'écran
L'Europe à l'écran : le cinéma et l'enseignement de l'histoire est un livre produit dans le cadre du projet du Conseil de l'Europe intitulé " Apprendre et enseigner l'histoire de l'Europe du XXe siècle ". Comportant des fiches sur cinquante films illustrant quatre thèmes du projet - le nationalisme, les femmes, l'immigration et les droits de l'homme - il encourage les enseignants à exploiter le cinéma en tant que source historique et propose une base pédagogique pour le faire. Le cinéma représente une source riche et complexe d'informations sur les sociétés et les populations européennes. Il révèle les souffrances des personnes vivant en marge de la société, souligne l'injustice sociale et donne la parole aux groupes minoritaires. Certains réalisateurs de pays appartenant à l'ancien bloc soviétique ont utilisé le cinéma de manière courageuse pour illustrer l'aliénation et la répression des sociétés totalitaires, malgré la censure, avec un usage souvent subversif de l'humour.
