Beeban Kidron: The Shared Wonder of Film (Ted Talk)



This video is interesting for a number of reasons. A few of the films shown in this short video, I have seen during class: Triumph of the Will (1935), Citizen Kane (1941), and Rear Window (1954). The idea given by director, Beeban Kidron, is to bring this “shared narrative” of film to the youth of UK in hopes of stimulating discussion about worldviews. Kidron considers the youth as beginning to become more involved in the world, but have no idea what has happened in the past. Through film, they can be educated but as well there is an enjoyment factor that will produce creative investigation and better their outlook on being involved in the process.
