A Companion to German Cinema
regards the shifting terrain of German filmmaking and film studies against their larger social contexts with twenty-two newly commissioned essays by well-established and younger scholars in the field. While several of these focus on classic topics such as Weimar cinema, Fifties cinema, New German Cinema and its legacy, and Holocaust film, the collection is distinguished by its focus on new developments and the innovative light they may shed on earlier practices.
includes essays on Berlin Film, Neue Heimat Film, New Comedy, post-Wall documentaries, the post-
Wende
RAF genre, and
Rabenmutter
imagery, as well as on the persistently overlooked and under-theorized
Indianerfilme
, post-AIDS documentaries, sexploitation films, and new multicultural and transnational films produced in Germany under the auspices of the European Union. Organized into three “movements” representing the significance of these developments for their aesthetic theorization,
challenges its readers to address critical gaps in the field with the aim of opening it further onto new terrains of intellectual engagement.
