Description
The Cinema Makers explores how cinema spectators in southeastern and central European cities became active participants through various practices such as squatting in existing cinemas, organizing film events, writing about cinema, and making films themselves. Anna Schober examines the activities and artistic productions of these cinema activists in cities including Vienna, Cologne, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Ljubljana, Belgrade, Novi Sad, Subotica, Zagreb, and Sarajevo. This study sheds light on the differences and similarities in the development of political culture and cinema's role within it across European countries with distinct traditions. By comparing these diverse experiences, Schober illuminates the complex relationships between film, politics, and society in southeastern and central Europe since the 1960s.
