German Film after Germany
What is the work of film in the age of transnational production? To answer that question, Randall Halle focuses on the film industry of Germany, one of Europe's largest film markets and one of the world's largest film-producing nations. In the 1990s Germany experienced an extreme transition from a state-subsidized mode of film production that was free of anxious concerns about profit and audience entertainment to a mode dominated by private interest and big capital. At the same time, the European Union began actively drawing together the national markets of Germany and other European nations, sublating their individual significances into a synergistic whole. This book studies these changes broadly, but also focuses on the transformations in their particular national context. It balances film politics and film aesthetics, tracing transformations in financing along with analyses of particular films to describe the effects on the film object itself. Halle concludes that we witness currently the emergence of a new transnational aesthetic, a fundamental shift in cultural production with ramifications for communal identifications, state cohesion, and national economies.

Terror and Joy
Dusan Makavejev is a filmmaker, teacher, and intellectual whose films intersect with major historical and political upheavals in Eastern Europe--World War II, the unification and breakup of Yugoslavia, and the fall of communism. Subversive and moving, his films remain touchstones for transcultural and political cinema. Matching the intensity of the films, Lorraine Mortimer takes a radically interdisciplinary approach in this first book-length critical analysis of Makavejev's work. Studies in contrasts, Makavejev's films combine documentary and fiction, tragedy and comedy. Mortimer examines seven of his films made between 1965 and 1994--including Montenegro (1981), Sweet Movie (1974), and WR:...

The Cinema of Wim Wenders
The Cinema of Wim Wenders, the first anthology of scholarly work on Wenders, is a unique anthropology of source materials and selected critical essays on the films of Wim Wenders, a major filmmaker in the so-called New German Cinema movement. His work, probably more than that of any other European director, reflects the tension between the European auteur tradition and the increasing dominance of the American media industry. In both his filmmaking and his critical writing, he explores how the relationship between image and narrative manifests the basic opposition between these two film traditions. This book serves as an introduction to the central concerns of his cinema while situation his work within German film history and the contemporary debates about postmodern film and media theory.
Die literarische Identität des Drehbuchs
Das Drehbuch wird gemeinhin nicht zur Gattung der schönen Literatur gezählt. Ihm haftet der Makel des Gebrauchstextes an. Als erste Stufe im filmischen arbeitsteiligen Entwicklungsprozess ist seine Aufgabe das Verschwinden. Entsprechend gering ist das publizistische und wissenschaftliche Interesse am Grenzgängertext. Hand in Hand mit diesem minderwertigen Status geht das fehlende öffentliche Ansehen des Drehbuchautors. Die Dissertation fragt nach den Gründen. War das im Verlauf der Filmgeschichte immer so? Wie widersprechen sich filmtheoretische Positionen? Die literaturwissenschaftliche Analyse am Fallbeispiel «Agnes» von Peter Stamm stellt die Gegenthese auf: Das Drehbuch ist Literatur. Wie verändert sich der literarische Charakter in der Adaption vom Roman ins Drehbuch? Der Gattungsvergleich setzt sich zum Ziel, die Eigenständigkeit einer Textsorte Drehbuch mit ihrer spezifischen Gestaltungsästhetik zu bestimmen. Da das Drehbuch «Agnes» in Zusammenarbeit mit einer Filmproduktionsfirma entstanden ist - der Film «Agnes» ist geplant - beinhaltet die Dissertation gleichsam eine Bestandesaufnahme der aktuellen Drehbuch(schreib)situation.
