IMT film list

Rules

• The objective here is to create a film database for the future thematic film screenings at the IMT.
• All of you can add & modify information. If you notice mistakes or incomplete data, feel free to add corrections.
• The themes & subthemes are subject to change. If you feel that new categories/subcategories are necessary, please create them. I will try to reorganize them more coherently as the database grows.
• I also added a "Bibliography" section at the end : if you find a book/site with an useful filmography related to one of our topics, please list it there.
• Since this is a database, conciseness is most important.
• To avoid any confusion/repetition, please respect the following format :

　　　　　**Theme
　　　　　***Subtheme

　　　　　DIRECTOR NAME Surname, Title (year)
　　　　　country, duration, silent/sound & language, bw/color, format
　　　　　Brief objective description (content, remarquable aspects)
