Like Henry Jenkins, I am surprised that this question is being framed as a mutually-exclusive choice. I use both whole films and extracts, the latter usually when detailed analysis is required. But I am also intrigued by the way American faculty seem able to use films in what would be for us down under a prodigal fashion. Do you have mroe money for such expenses? or are hire charges smaller? And how do you get around what is the main problem for us - copyright limits?
