Abstract

By the time the Berlin Wall collapsed, the cinema of the German Democratic Republic—to the extent it was considered at all—was widely regarded as a footnote to European film history, with little of enduring value. Since then, interest in East German cinema has exploded, inspiring innumerable festivals, books, and exhibits on the GDR’s rich and varied filmic output. In Re-Imagining DEFA, leading international experts take stock of this vibrant landscape and plot an ambitious course for future research, one that considers other cinematic traditions, brings genre and popular works into the fold, and encompasses DEFA’s complex post-unification “afterlife.”

Abstract

Motion picture production, distribution, exhibition and reception has always been a transnational phenomenon, yet East Germany, situated at the edge of the post-war Iron Curtain, separated by a boundary that became materialized in the Berlin Wall in 1961, resembles nothing if not an island, a protected space where film production developed under the protection of government subsidy and ideological purity. This volume proposes on the contrary that the GDR cinema was never just a monologue. Rather, its media landscape was characterized by constant dialogue, if not competition, with both the capitalist West and socialist East. These thirteen essays reshape DEFA cinema studies by exploring international networks, identifying lines of influence beyond national boundaries and recognizing genre qualities that surpass the temporal and spatial confines. The international team of film specialists present detailed analyses of over fifty films, including fiction features, adaptations of literary classics, children's films, documentaries, and examples from genres such as music, sci-fi, Westerns and crime films. With contributions by Seán Allan, Hunter Bivens, Benita Blessing, Barton Byg, Jaimey Fisher, Sabine Hake, Nick Hodgin, Manuel Köppen, Anke Pinkert, Larson Powell, Brad Prager, Marc Silberman, Stefan Soldovieri, and Henning Wrage.

Abstract

With internationalist aspirations and wide-ranging historical perspectives, East German films about artists and their work became hotly contested spaces in which filmmakers could look beyond the GDR and debate the impact of contemporary cultural policy on the reception of their pre-war cultural heritage. Spanning newsreels, documentaries, and feature films, Screening Art is the first full-length investigation into a genre that has been largely overlooked in studies of DEFA, the state-owned Eastern German film studio. As it shows, “artist-films” played an essential role in the development of new paradigms of socialist art in postwar Europe.

Abstract

In dieser Untersuchung werden erstmals in einem entwicklungsgeschichtlichen Rahmen deutsche Spielfilme im Hinblick auf die Frage nach Schuld im Nationalsozialismus analysiert. Welche Entschuldungsmuster und Schuldzuweisungen werden in den Filmen zwischen 1946 und 1989 präsentiert und wie entwickelte sich dies über die Jahrzehnte? Inwiefern sind die Filme Teil des zeitgenössischen Schulddiskurses? Verlief die Entwicklung der Schulddarstellungen in beiden deutschen Staaten in eine unterschiedliche Richtung oder gab es sogar markante Parallelen - ein gesamtdeutsches Entschuldungsmuster? Bei der Analyse wird deutlich, dass sich die Filme aus Bundesrepublik und DDR bis etwa 1965 im Hinblick auf die Schuldfrage ähnlicher waren als zumeist in der Forschung angenommen, sich danach aber in verschiedene Richtungen entwickelten. Während in der Bundesrepublik ab der Mitte der 60er Jahre die Filme den Ausprägungen des Schulddiskurses folgten, entfernten sich insbesondere die Produktionen der DDR immer mehr vom öffentlichen Schuldverständnis des Staats und präsentierten zunehmend alternative Schuldinterpretationen. Eines der großen Themen, eine Art Gretchenfrage für deutsche Filmschaffende nach 1945, bildet bis heute die Auseinandersetzung mit den Verbrechen während der Nazi-Diktatur. Der Historiker Lukas Bartholomei untersucht hier [...] exemplarisch 17 Kinofilme zwischen 1946 bis 1990 aus Ost- und Westdeutschland. [...] Für Filmfreunde und Geschichtsinteressierte gleichermaßen lesenswert! -
