(3) Robert Wiene’s The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1919/20) DECLA production starred Werner Krauss as Dr Caligari and Conrad Veidt as the somnam- bulist Cesare sets the standards for the expressionist style in film extensive use of mise-en-scene sharp black and white contrasts (chiaroscuro lighting) strict regime on the geometry painted sets reduce a naturalistic setting to an artificial space of two dimensional lines (following Max Reinhardt’s theatre) actor motion develops from a still: jerky, slowed- down dance-like movements revealing the inner world of the characters and their state of alienation The Cabinet of Dr Caligari Cinematic devices editing kept simple shot – reverse shot, crosscutting slower pace functional camera-work oblique camera angles false perspectives All this stresses the disintegration of the individual, loneliness, isolation, alienation: disillusioned analysis of life in a modern capitalist society other topics: effect of authoritarian structures, misuse of power and science The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (cont.) Original script of the film by Hans Janowitz and Carl Meyer Kracauer reads this as a revolutionary story Erich Pommer accepted the script Robert Wiene suggested essential modification invention of the framing story Kracauer: while the original exposed the madness inherent in authority, Wiene’s Caligari seems to glorify authority and convicted its antagonist of madness – a revolutionary film seems to be turned into a conformist one But is Kracauer right? The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (cont.) Ending of the film – within the mental asylum uses similar camera-angles, actor movements, lighting effects as the rest film much more continues to produce vagueness more than one possible reading as a technique used in avant-garde art of the 1920s Weimar Cinema To fully understand Weimar Cinema one has to look at its precarious position between art, politics and entertainment. put it into context of the wider debate on culture within the capitalist society of Weimar Germany general atmosphere of lost orientation, insecurity and unease in the 1st phase of the Republic (1919-1924) Weimar Cinema, 1st phase Entanglement of the new media in rules of mass-production and markets script-writers, artists, actors, directors more often on the avant- garde half of the cinematic world producers, distributors, film companies on the capitalist side 1919-1923 increase in German film productions due to low costs Caligari helped selling German films abroad UFA in Babelsberg competitors of Hollywood sophisticated sets, lavish costume, star system (UFA stars) UFA as merger of industry, banks and state (at 1st military forces) Fridericus Rex, 1920-23 in 4 parts example of conservative influence brought along by joint ventures Otto Gebuehr as star Mountain films as popular genre Weimar Republic (2nd and 3rd phase) Inflation peaked in 1923, introduction of new currency stabilized markets – 5 years of prosperity, stability and wealth from 1924-1929: The Golden Twenties 1929 stock market crashed and marked the beginning of a deep and long economic crisis.

  • Zeughauskino: Gretchen Und Germania
    GRETCHEN UND GERMANIA HOMMAGE AN HENNY PORTEN Wie kaum eine andere deutsche Schauspielerin hat Henny Porten (1890 – 1960) zwischen 1910 und 1933 das populäre Bild der Frau in Deutschland verkörpert und geprägt. Bewunderer hatte sie in allen Bevölkerungsschichten: Soldatenräte ließen sie in den November- kämpfen 1918 hochleben; Reichstagspräsident Ebert besuchte ihre Dreharbeiten; und bei ihren Filmpremieren erlebten die Innenstädte Massenaufläufe. Ironisch und ernsthaft augenzwinkernd schlug 1922 der Literat Kurt Pinthus im linksliberalen Tagebuch vor: »Man mache Henny Porten zum Reichspräsidenten! Hier ist eine Gestalt, die in Deutschland volkstümlicher ist als der alte Fritz, als der olym- pische Goethe es je waren und sein konnten... Hier ist eine schöne Frau, die als Vereinigung von Gretchen und Germania von diesem Volke selbst als Idealbild eben dieses Volkes aufgerichtet wurde«. Bereits seit 1906 war die junge Porten in Dutzenden von Tonbildern aufgetreten, in nachgestellten kurzen Opernszenen, zu denen im Kino der entsprechende Musikpart aus dem Grammophon erklang. Mit großen Posen und Affektdarstellungen eiferten die Darsteller dieser frühen, oft nur eine Minute langen Filme den bekannten Mimen der Hoftheater nach. Bekannte, zur Ikone geronnene Darstel- lungsklischees großer Gefühle nahm die junge Filmschauspielerin auf und formte daraus ein filmspezifisches Vokabular stummen Spiels, eindringlicher Gesten und Blicke. Portens Gebärdensprache betont die vereinzelte Geste und isoliert Bedeutung, die nur in Gip- felmomenten beschleunigt, ansonsten aber ausgespielt oder ver- langsamt wird. Portens häufig wiederkehrendes Darstellungsfeld – schicksalsschwe- rer Kampf und mit Demut getragenes Leid – wird während des Ers- ten Weltkriegs Realität vieler Frauen. Henny Porten, die ihren ersten Mann in diesem Krieg verlor, erschien in ihren Figuren wie in ihrem Starleben gerade in den 1910er Jahren als ein Spiegelbild der deut- Die Heimkehr des Odysseus GRETCHEN UND GERMANIA 31 GRETCHEN UND GERMANIA schen Frauenseele.

    Rosa Porten Also Known As: Dr. R. Portegg Lived: February 18, 1884 - May 7, 1972 Worked as: co-director, film actress, journalist, novelist, screenwriter Worked In: Germany by Annette Förster Rosa Porten’s work as a screenwriter, an actress, and a film director has been practically neglected in film history, but what she accomplished in the German silent cinema is truly noteworthy. In a two-decade career, from 1906 until 1928, she created a cinematic oeuvre that was substantial, original, versatile, and entertaining. The exact number of films to which Rosa Porten contributed is uncertain, but historical substantiation points to around forty titles. Between 1916 and 1919 alone, she wrote and co-directed at least twenty-four catching comedies and gripping social dramas and in most of them she played the protagonist. Even more notable in retrospect is that Porten’s stories often privileged the perspective of a female character who, with non-conformist pragmatism or jokey recalcitrance, seizes her chance to defy bourgeois conventions and role patterns. In the trade press, the comedies were often praised: 1e Internationale Film-Zeitung highlighted the “überschäumende Komik” [scintillating jocoseness] of Die Film- Kathi (1918) (1918, 47); Der Kinematograph noted the “herzerfrischenden” [heart-freshening] humor in Die Erzkokette (1917) (1917, n.p.); both Der Film and 1e Internationale Film- Zeitung noticed the serious undertones in Der Neueste Stern vom Varieté (1917) and Das Musikantenmädel (1918) respectively (1917, 57; 1918, 58). My fascination with Rosa Porten was triggered by Wanda’s Trick (1918), a comedy with close to feminist wit brought to my attention by Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi (EYE Filmmuseum), with whom I prepared the film program for the Women and the Silent Screen V Conference in Stockholm in 2008.

  • The Importance of the Weimar Film Industry Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: Christian P
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Tamara Dawn Goesch for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Foreign Languages and Litera- tures (German), Business, and History presented on August 12, 1981 Title: A Critique of the Secondary Literature on Weimar Film; The Importance of the Weimar Film Industry Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Christian P. Stehr Only when all aspects of the German film industry of the 1920's have been fully analyzed and understood will "Weimar film" be truly comprehensible. Once this has been achieved the study of this phenomenon will fulfill its po- tential and provide accurate insights into the Weimar era. Ambitious psychoanalytic studies of Weimar film as well as general filmographies are useful sources on Wei- mar film, but the accessible works are also incomplete and even misleading. Theories about Weimar culture, about the group mind of Weimar, have been expounded, for example, which are based on limited rather than exhaustive studies of Weimar film. Yet these have nonetheless dominated the literature because no counter theories have been put forth. Both the deficiencies of the secondary literature and the nature of the topic under study--the film media--neces- sitate that attention be focused on the films themselves if the mysteries of the Weimar screenare to be untangled and accurately analyzed. Unfortunately the remnants of Weimar film available today are not perfectsources of information and not even firsthand accounts in othersour- ces on content and quality are reliable. However, these sources--the films and firsthand accounts of them--remain to be fully explored. They must be fully explored if the study of Weimar film is ever to advance.

    ‘Skewed intimacies and subcultural identities: Anne Boleyn and the expression of fealty in a social media forum’ Mickey Mayhew A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Sociology at London South Bank University Supervisors: Doctor Shaminder Takhar (Director of Studies) and Doctor Jenny Owen Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences, Department of Social Sciences & Department of Media and Cultural Studies, London South Bank University 1 Abstract The aim of this research project was the investigation of a subculture surrounding the famous Tudor queen Anne Boleyn; what that possible subculture means for those involved, and if it constituted part of a new phenomenon of female orientated online subcultures; cybersubcultures. Through the analysis of film, TV, historical literature and fiction, the research illustrates how subcultures are perpetuated through generations cyclically. The research then documents the transition from the traditional or ‘classic’ subcultural model of the 60s to the 21st century cybersubculture and fandom, suggesting a new way of thinking about subcultures in a post-subcultural age. The research suggests that the positioning of Anne Boleyn as a feminist icon/role model, based mainly on a media-mediated image, has formed a subculture which thrives on disjointed imagery and discourse in order to form a subculture of peculiarly subtle resistance. This new cybersubculture reflects the ways in which women are now able to use social media to form communities and to communicate, sharing concerns over men and marriage, all whilst percolating around the media-mediated image of Anne Boleyn as their starting point. These interactions – and the similarities they shared with the ‘classic’ subcultural style - form the data for this research project.

These films shed light on the way Ger- many chose to remember its recent past. A body of twenty-five films is analysed. For insight into the understanding and reception of these films at the time, hundreds of film reviews, censorship re- ports and some popular history books are discussed. This is the first rigorous study of these hitherto unacknowledged war films. The chapters are ordered themati- cally: war documentaries, films on the causes of the war, the front life, the war at sea and the home front.

  • Abb. 1.1 Und 2 WANDA's TRICK – Wanda Treumann Kokettiert Mit
    Abb. 1.1 und 2 WANDAS TRICK Wanda Treumann kokettiert mit dem Publikum. Jörg Schweinitz Die rauchende Wanda Visuelle Prologe im frühen Spielfilm Im Mai 1918 wird in Berlin Wandas Trick1 (Deutschland,R. Portegg [Pseud - onym für Rosa Porten / Franz Eckstein]) uraufgeführt. Nach dem Haupttitel des Films erscheint auf der Leinwand die Liste der handelnden Personen (ohne Darsteller zu nennen),danach ein gesonderter Titel,der allein den Star ankün - digt: «Wanda Treumann in der Rolle der Wanda». Die erste Einstellung präsen- tiert die populäre Schauspielerin als Ganzfigur im Abendkleid. Die über den Kopf getragene Stola verleiht ihr ein exotisches Fluidum. Nahezu frontal im Bild sitzend,lächelt sie sibyllinisch,führt eine brennende Zigarette an den Mund und raucht auf eine Weise,die wohl als herausfordernd empfunden wer- den sollte. Schließlich behält sie die Zigarette schräg im Mundwinkel,während sie scheinbar uns,das Kinopublikum,anblickt. Danach beginnt sie mit sichtli- chem Vergnügen,Zigarettenschachteln,die neben ihr aufgestapelt sind,kokett in unsere Richtung zu werfen,links und rechts mehr oder weniger dicht an der Kamera vorbei. Diese bemerkenswerte Einstellung hat eine Länge von etwa 20 Sekunden (Abb. 1.1 und 1.2). Der folgende Zwischentitel leitet zu einem Haupthandlungsort des Films über: «Heinrich Löbels Fabrik». Es erscheint Wanda,durch schwarze Arbeits- kleidung herausgehoben aus den Reihen der anderen,grau gekleideten Zigaret - tenarbeiterinnen,an einem Manufakturtisch beim Drehen von Zigaretten. Zug um Zug resp. Bild für Bild werden nun die Personen und die Konfliktlage die- getisch etabliert,die Handlung kommt in Gang... Die Einstellung der rauchenden Wanda wies gegenüber diesem zweiten Bild in vieler Hinsicht Diskontinuitäten auf.
