Dear Economics Educators,
Short film scenes are used as a vehicle to introduce elementary economic concepts. The pedagogical advantages of this approach are increased student engagement; an enhanced ability to critically analyze core content, and the method provides an alternative to the lecture-discussion format. In addition, the approach complements the traditional development of economic theory without sacrificing a significant amount of class time.
On this website, you will find a large catalog of movie clips that can be used to supplement key topics in economics. The authors of this website have used movie clips extensively in their classes with positive results. It is our hope that you may find something on this site to be of use in one of your classes. We welcome any additions to the database as well as any comments or suggestions to help us improve our site.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact us, this project is an ongoing endeavor.
Best,
