The Power of Hollywood Hollywood can reinforce or undermine prevailing myths and hegemonial ideologies (but it usually reinforces them). Hollywood can anoint or suppress new creative voices in society. By granting so much power to a private entity, the United States has made its culture highly dependent on market forces.

Political Constraints Legacies of Hollywood History –past censorship the Hayes Commission (1930s) the Production Code –McCarthyism and the “Red Scare” –corporate censorship -- “Citizen Kane” Hollywood ambitions for political influence Continuing criticisms of bias in film-making

Culture in the Marketplace Contemporary Hollywood is mostly self- regulated to avoid censorship Hollywood provides content that appeals to both the strengths and weaknesses of mass audiences: –it is anti-elitist, democratic, pro human rights –in the quest for viewers, it erodes norms about depicting violence and pornography and it undermines community and civility

Hope for the Future? Growing importance of independent studios in supplying the demand for new films. New film festivals like Sundance that make it easier for independents to hook with big studios for distribution deals. Internet-based video and film operations that provide new ways to discover talent.
