Book Synopsis The Counter-cinema of the Berlin School by : Marco Abel
Download or read book The Counter-cinema of the Berlin School written by Marco Abel and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2013 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contemporary German directors collectively known as the "Berlin School" constitute the most significant filmmaking movement to come out of Germany since the New German Cinema of the 1970s, not least because their films mark the emergence of a new film language. The Berlin School filmmakers, including Christian Petzold, Thomas Arslan, Angela Schanelec, Christoph Hochhäusler, Ulrich Köhler, Benjamin Heisenberg, Maren Ade, and Valeska Grisebach, are reminiscent of the directors of the New German Autorenkino and of French cinéma des auteurs of the 1960s. This is the first book-length study of the Berlin School in any language. Its central thesis - that the movement should be regarded as a "counter-cinema" - is built around the unusual style of realism employed in its films, a realism that presents images of a Germany that does not yet exist. Abel concludes that it is precisely how these films' images and sounds work that renders them political: they are political not because they are message-driven films but because they are made politically, thus performing a "redistribution of the sensible" - a direct artistic intervention in the way politics partitions ways of doing and making, saying and seeing. Marco Abel is Professor of English and Film Studies at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
Book Synopsis Movement and Performance in Berlin School Cinema by : Olivia Landry
Download or read book Movement and Performance in Berlin School Cinema written by Olivia Landry and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A rich and welcome addition to the surge of scholarly interest in the Berlin School.” —Studies in European Cinema Through a study of the contemporary German film movement the Berlin School, Olivia Landry examines how narrative film has responded to our highly digitalized and mediatized age, not with a focus on stasis and realism, but by turning back to movement, spectacle, and performance. She argues that a preoccupation with presence, liveness, and affect—all of which are viewed as critical components of live performance—can be found in many of the films of the Berlin School. Challenging the perception that the Berlin School is a sheer adherent of “slow cinema,” Landry closely analyzes the use of movement, dynamism, presence, and speed in a broad selection of films to show how filmmakers such as Christian Petzold, Angela Schanelec, Thomas Arslan, and Christoph Hochhäusler invoke the pulse of the kinesthetic and the tangibly affective. Her analysis draws on an array of film theories from early materialism to body theories, phenomenology, and contemporary affect theories. Arguing that these theories readily and energetically forge a path from film to performance, Landry traces a trajectory between the two through which live experience, presence, spectacle, intersubjectivity, and the body in motion emerge and powerfully intersect. Ultimately, Movement and Performance in Berlin School Cinema expands the methodological and disciplinary boundaries of film studies by offering new ways of articulating and understanding movement in cinema.

Book excerpt: "The informal movement that critics like to call the Berlin School, " as director Christoph Hochhäusler puts it, is a loose affiliation of filmmakers who emerged around the time the Berlin Wall fell. The founding figures--Thomas Arslan, Christian Petzold, and Angela Schanelec--and their younger colleagues are not bound by a manifesto or by any singular aesthetic. Nonetheless, their observant portrayals of characters in flux offer a compelling cinematic expression of the search for new identities in a time of societal change. The films of the Berlin School have resonated profoundly since the mid-1990s, making it one of the most influential auteur movements to emerge from Europe in the new millennium.

Book Synopsis Berlin School Glossary by : Roger F. Cook
Download or read book Berlin School Glossary written by Roger F. Cook and published by Intellect (UK). This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Berlin School Glossary is the first major publication to mark the increasing international importance of a group of contemporary German and Austrian filmmakers initially known by the name the Berlin School: Christian Petzold, Thomas Arslan, Christoph Hochhäusler, Jessica Hausner, and others. The study elaborates on the innovative strategies and formal techniques that distinguish these films, specifically questions of movement, space, spectatorship, representation, desire, location, and narrative. Abandoning the usual format of essay-length analyses of individual films and directors, the volume is organized as an actual glossary with entries such as bad sex, cars, the cut, endings, familiar places, forests, ghosts, hotels, interiority, landscapes, siblings, surveillance, swimming pools, and wind. This unique format combined with an informative introduction will be essential to scholars and fans of the German New Wave

Book Synopsis Art, Cinema, and the Berlin School by : Jasmin Krakenberg
Download or read book Art, Cinema, and the Berlin School written by Jasmin Krakenberg and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation argues that the Berlin School (Berliner Schule)--the most important development in German cinema since the New German Cinema of the 1970s--explores the relation between cinema and traditional art genres. The four genres that organize my dissertation--portraiture, landscape, still life, and history--also provide the key categories for analyzing their work. Each genre provides the cinema with historical forms of seeing and representation. The films, for their part, take up these forms and rework them in a new context. In my exploration of the films, I draw on a variety of texts (student work, non-narrative films, experimental films, narrative films, painting, photography, and video installation). This study does not provide a single "reading" of the films, nor does it simply classify them as a portrait films or landscape films, for example. Films can obviously cut across genres, creating a visual and referential richness that allows for even deeper engagement. I build upon discussions of the aesthetic context of the pictorial arts, drawing from art historians, as well as from literary and film scholars, to show how "ways of seeing" specific to these genres of art suggest a way of dealing with the problem of stasis in film. Consequently, this study suggests a revised understanding of the genres that emphasizes mobility and dynamism in relation to the stories being told. This dissertation offers a conceptual framework through art for exploring both the history and aesthetics of the Berlin School. It suggests an understanding of the Berlin School not just as art cinema, but cinema as a reflection on the history of art. Going further, it expands our understanding of film's visual language and of cinema as an art of seeing. In doing so, it also demonstrates how narrative film is currently redefining the cinema's relation to the arts. Ultimately, I argue that an understanding of the current German cinema through the framework of art history allows us to connect beyond the German context to film and visual arts more broadly.

Book Synopsis Einstein in Berlin by : Thomas Levenson

Book excerpt: In a book that is both biography and the most exciting form of history, here are eighteen years in the life of a man, Albert Einstein, and a city, Berlin, that were in many ways the defining years of the twentieth century. Einstein in Berlin In the spring of 1913 two of the giants of modern science traveled to Zurich. Their mission: to offer the most prestigious position in the very center of European scientific life to a man who had just six years before been a mere patent clerk. Albert Einstein accepted, arriving in Berlin in March 1914 to take up his new post. In December 1932 he left Berlin forever. “Take a good look,” he said to his wife as they walked away from their house. “You will never see it again.” In between, Einstein’s Berlin years capture in microcosm the odyssey of the twentieth century. It is a century that opens with extravagant hopes--and climaxes in unparalleled calamity. These are tumultuous times, seen through the life of one man who is at once witness to and architect of his day--and ours. He is present at the events that will shape the journey from the commencement of the Great War to the rumblings of the next one. We begin with the eminent scientist, already widely recognized for his special theory of relativity. His personal life is in turmoil, with his marriage collapsing, an affair under way. Within two years of his arrival in Berlin he makes one of the landmark discoveries of all time: a new theory of gravity--and before long is transformed into the first international pop star of science. He flourishes during a war he hates, and serves as an instrument of reconciliation in the early months of the peace; he becomes first a symbol of the hope of reason, then a focus for the rage and madness of the right. And throughout these years Berlin is an equal character, with its astonishing eruption of revolutionary pathways in art and architecture, in music, theater, and literature. Its wild street life and sexual excesses are notorious. But with the debacle of the depression and Hitler’s growing power, Berlin will be transformed, until by the end of 1932 it is no longer a safe home for Einstein. Once a hero, now vilified not only as the perpetrator of “Jewish physics” but as the preeminent symbol of all that the Nazis loathe, he knows it is time to leave.
