Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Produced and directed by Kevin Rafferty, Jayne Loader and Pierce Rafferty, the influential film compilation The Atomic Café provocatively documents the post-World War II threat of nuclear war as depicted in a wide assortment of archival footage from the period (newsreels, statements from politicians, advertisements, training, civil defense and military films). This vast, yet entertaining, collage of clips serves as a unique document of the 1940s-1960s era and illustrates how these films — some of which today seem propagandistic or even patently absurd ("The House in the Middle") — were used to inform the public on how to cope in the nuclear age. |
