Up to the 1960s, newsreel cinema and television played a crucial role in shaping political spheres and constructing national and cultural identities. Today's powerful televisual forms have been further developed and heavily influenced by newsreels, and a significant amount of archived newsreel footage is frequently reused to illustrate and re-stage past events and their significance. This book explores newsreel cinema and television as a medium that contributes to the formation of cultural identities in various national contexts after 1945, its role in creating audiovisual narratives of a nation's biography, and the technical, aesthetic, and political challenges of archiving and restaging cinematic and televisual newsreel.
