Description
A Companion to German Cinema explores the evolution of German filmmaking and film studies within their broader social contexts. Twenty-two essays by established and younger scholars provide new insights into classic topics such as Weimar cinema, Fifties cinema, and Holocaust film, while also shedding light on recent developments. The collection delves into lesser-known areas, including post-Wall documentaries, the post-Wende RAF genre, Indianerfilme, and multicultural films produced in Germany under EU auspices. Organized around three "movements" that highlight the significance of these developments for aesthetic theory, this book aims to address critical gaps in the field and expand its intellectual scope. By examining new trends and their implications, A Companion to German Cinema offers a comprehensive understanding of contemporary German cinema and film studies.
