    MoMA PRESENTS THE MOST EXTENSIVE EXHIBITION OF WEIMAR CINEMA EVER MOUNTED IN THE UNITED STATES Four-Month Exhibition Includes Over 80 Films, Many Rare, a Selection of Original Weimar Movie Posters, and the Release of New Publication Weimar Cinema, 1919–1933: Daydreams and Nightmares November 17, 2010–March 7, 2011 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, 29, 2010— The Museum of Modern Art, in association with the Friedrich-Wilhelm- Murnau Foundation in Wiesbaden and in cooperation with the Deutsche Kinemathek in Berlin, presents Weimar Cinema, 1919–1933: Daydreams and Nightmares, the most comprehensive exhibition surveying the extraordinarily fertile and influential period in German filmmaking between the two world wars. It was during this period that film matured from a silent, visually expressive art into one circumscribed yet enlivened by language, music and sound effects. This four-month series includes 75 feature-length films and 6 shorts―a mix of classic films and many motion pictures unseen since the 1930s―and opens with the newly discovered film Ins Blaue Hinein (Into the Blue) (1929), by Eugene Schüfftan, the special effects artist and master cinematographer originally renowned for his work on Fritz Lang‘s Metropolis (1927). Running November 17, 2010 through March 7, 2011, Weimar Cinema is augmented by an exhibition of posters and photographs of Weimar filmmaking in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1 Lobby Galleries and an illustrated publication, which includes an extensive filmography supplemented by German criticism and essays by leading scholars of the period. The film portion of the exhibition is organized by Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art, and Eva Orbanz, Senior Curator, Special Projects, Deutsche Kinemathek – Museum für Film und Fernsehen.

  • Central Europe
    Central Europe WEST GERMANY HE PERIOD under review (July 1, 1954, through June 30, 1955) opened Tunder the shadow of the rebuff administered by the French National Assembly and the Brussels Conference (see AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, [Vol. 55], p. 354), to the European Defense Community (EDC), upon which the government of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer had for years predicated its plans and policies. Throughout 1954 the Federal Republic of Germany was still subject to the 1949 occupation statute. In theory, supreme power re- mained with the Allied High Commission. Sovereignty of West Germany The unsuccessful Brussels Conference was followed, however, by the Lon- don Nine-Power Conference that met from September 28 to October 3, 1954, and resulted in the announcement by France, Great Britain, and the United States of their resolve to bring the occupation regime in Germany to an end. Conferences from October 19 through 23, 1954, led to the Paris Accords be- tween the three Western Allies and West Germany. These provided for the termination of the occupation regime, the future relations among the signatories, the status of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) troops stationed in Germany, the Federal Republic's financial defense contribution, and the status of West Berlin. (Berlin was not part of the Federal Republic and the Allies retained a degree of "occupation" authority there, although pledged to exercise it as little as possible.) France and West Germany concluded certain bilateral agreements. A Saar Statute subject to ratification by the Saar's voters gave that territory a "Eu- ropean" status under the "West European Union" and a commissioner ap- pointed by it.

THE CONTACT ZONE: IN SEARCH OF THE GALICIAN THEATER OF WAR IN GER- MAN CINEMAS OF THE 1920S1 Philipp Stiasny Franz Joseph’s Empire can only ever have been an invention of the operetta, of the theater, of the novel, and of the cinema. In Germany, too, it was never only a historical and geographical region and era, but also an emotional one, a place of memory and of longing. This is especially true of the period after the First World War, when films about the Danube, Vienna, and waltzes, complete with dashing lieutenants and jaded princes, jocular musicians and Viennese dames, made up a considerable part of the Weimar Republic’s box office offerings and landed high on the popularity charts.2 1 Many thanks to James Straub for translating the text and commenting on it.
