Description
This work brings together film specialists from Europe and the United States to explore German film history from the late 19th to the early 21st century. It re-evaluates traditional areas of interest in German cinema (such as Weimar cinema, Nazi propaganda, and New German Cinema), and looks at neglected aspects, including early cinema, the cinema of the GDR, popular genre traditions, questions of national cinema and identity, and German film's transnational connections to Hollywood, as well as to exile and migrant cinemas. It places particular emphasis on genres and stars in the wider context of state and industry at home and abroad. The collection comprises five thematic sections: popular cinema; stars; institutional and cultural frameworks; cultural politics; and transnational connections.

About the contributors
Reviews
-
The German Cinema Book presents German cinema and German film history as diverse, polyphonic and decentralized, shaped by political upheavals as well as by intellectual discourses and European political developments, by retreating to the local audience as well as by international competition and cooperation. Anyone who is interested in German film from an academic perspective, whether in teaching or research, will find an excellent introduction and countless suggestions for further thinking in this new edition.
