Media Transformation Manipulation Censorship
The MTMC serves as an environment in which researchers and students can develop and conduct grant funded research on topics dealing with mass communication and its effects on censorship, translation and manipulation in Europe and in America.
We want to thank The James Forsher Film Archives for donating to MTMC a large collection of digitized film assets. The collection of well over 200 files includes banned films, representation of intolerance in films, films that have been judged to have racist character as well as a large collection of footage representing the golden age of Hollywood. This is material that our students and faculty can review and use for their research projects.
