Talk:Sponsored film

Prelinger's changed the definition again
"Ephemeral films" are now "sponsored films", according to his 2006 overview. It's linked under References and External Links.

While I think it's a better name, "ephemeral" has been used for decades now. There's a lot of legacy discussion out there about the term, so I kept ephemeral in bold in the first sentence of the article.

In any case, Rick Prelinger is the authority who comes up with the definition for this type of movie. He says that sponsorship is the primary quality they all have in common. I think sponsored film makes it clearer to laymen, at least, what is meant by the category, rather than the literally vague "ephemeral".

Anyway, I've redirected everything. Cheers. -- Yamara 19:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Industrial film and video
WP page Industrial film currently redirects to this WP article (Sponsored film). Should Industrial film page be changed into redirect to Industrial video (which has its own WP article)? --EarthFurst (talk) 18:47, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
