  • Rude & Playful Shadows: Collective Performances of Cinema in Cold
    Rude & Playful Shadows: Collective Performances of Cinema in Cold War Europe by Megan E Hoetger A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies and the Designated Emphases in Critical Theory and Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Shannon Jackson, Chair Julia Bryan-Wilson Abigail De Kosnik Anton Kaes Spring 2019 Abstract Rude & Playful Shadows: Collective Performances of Cinema in Cold War Europe by Megan E Hoetger Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair “Rude & Playful Shadows: Collective Performances of Cinema in Cold War Europe” is a historical examination, which engages rigorous discursive and performance-based analysis of underground film screening events that crossed the West/East divide and brought together an international group of artists and filmmakers during some of the “hottest” years of the Cold War period. At its center, the study investigates the practices of two pioneering filmmakers, Austrian Kurt Kren (b. Vienna, 1929; d. Vienna, 1998) and German Birgit Hein (b. Berlin, 1942). Tracking their aesthetic, ideological, and spatial reconfigurations of the cinematic apparatus—their “performances of cinema”—in Austria and former West Germany, the dissertation demonstrates how Kren and Hein were progenitors of influential new viewing practices that operated in the tacit geopolitical interstices between nation- states and underground cultures. Contemporary art, film, and media scholarship tends to move in one of two directions: either toward aesthetic inquiries into the appearance of moving images and other time-based arts in the visual art museum since the 1990s, or toward the politics of global media distribution in the digital age.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Whether it was called Experimental, Avant-Garde or just Artists’ films/videos it represented a body of work that was marginal to the respective institutions of cinema and art and, partly because of that, it was both lively and exciting, if financially unrewarding, generating debate and column inches in film and art journals and the occasional foray into national cinemas and galleries.1 Felicity Sparrow (2003) This thesis sets out to demonstrate the diversity in 1970s British experimental filmmaking and act as a form of historical reclamation. The intention is to integrate films that have not received adequate recognition into the field alongside those that stand as accepted texts. In accounts of the decade structural and material film experimentation, taking place predominantly at the London Filmmakers’ Co-operative (LFMC), has tended to dominate the histories, at the expense of overshadowing more personal, expressive and representational forms of filmmaking.2 One of the reasons for the lack of adequate recognition for these forms of filmmaking is that several accounts have asserted that a return to more personal, expressionistic forms of filmmaking occurred at the end of the 1970s. This was frequently referred to as the ‘return to image’, since the these films contained more representational content in contrast to the more formal, minimal films dominating the histories. In one example, Michael O’Pray identified that ‘since 1980 video art and experimental film have developed away from the largely conceptual aesthetics towards
