At A2 level

• The WJEC scheme includes two modules on silent cinema. Though neither of these covers British film in the 1920s, Hindle Wakes offers an interesting comparison in terms of style and narrative. It also lends itself to some of the other module topics.
• The film can be studied under Authorship, especially in relation to Maurice Elvey, and it relates interestingly to three companion topics, Genre, Production and Performance.
• Hindle Wakes is a suitable text for examining the relationship between women and film in a module on gender and film in the critical studies element of the course.
