This month the Screenonline Education Zone looks at slums, social housing and suburban expansion with the launch the online guide to accompany the new BFI Mediatheque DVD The Promised Land? - a collection of films that explore some of the major issues associated with housing across the 20th century.

The spotlight is still on TV and film adaptations of some of Jane Austen's most popular novels, with a series of English lessons that encourage students to compare and contrast literary and cinematic techniques and explore how filmmakers have interpreted these classic texts since the 1960s.
