COM 320, History of Film Young German Cinema/New German Cinema (1960's and 1970's-c.1990, respectively) Origins: -Oberhausen Manifesto of 1962, product of 26 writers and filmmakers who had accepted West German government grants; West German govt. funding of films/TV presentations followed; 1967 Film Subsidies Board; 1974 Film/Television Agreement -Early importance of Volker Schlondorff (trained with Malle, Resnais, Jean-Pierre Melville), Alexander Kluge (one of the Oberhausen spokesmen), Margarethe von Trotta (established a “female aesthetic”) -Soon thereafter, the darlings of international film festivals: Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, Wim Wenders Substance: -The movement emerged in a national environment of “forgetting” the Nazi past -However, across a wide variety of contexts, “diffused or denied responsibility” is a repeated theme -Also, the individual or “typical” person’s perspective is presented - The NGC auteurs were politically sensitized, but this is often submerged in their films; Auteurs not a coherent group Form: -Variety of styles--but lacking the “slick” American style of fast editing, classic 3-point lighting, etc. -Late, some films (e.g., Michael Verhoeven’s The Nasty Girl, Lars von Trier’s Zentropa) used a unique style of composite shot Impacts on films to follow: -A revival of the “International Style,” as well as an impetus toward a “World Market” (e.g., Schlondorff, Wenders, Herzog) Key works: Young Torless, 1964, Volker Schlondorff Aguirre, the Wrath of God, 1972, Werner Herzog Ali: Fear Eats the Soul, 1974, Rainer Werner Fassbinder Fox and His Friends, 1975, R.

Art Directors Guild Film Society and American Cinematheque Salute Production Designer Rolf Zehetbauer with “Das Boot” (1981) Screening / Panel
Art Directors Guild Film Society and American Cinematheque Salute Production Designer Rolf Zehetbauer With “Das Boot” (1981) Screening / Panel August 21, 5:30 p.m. Egyptian Theatre LOS ANGELES, August 8th, 2011 — The Art Directors Guild (ADG) Film Society and American Cinematheque will spotlight Das Boot AKA The Boat (1981) with a special 30th anniversary screening of the remastered director’s cut on Sunday, August 21 at 5:30 p.m. at the Egyptian Theatre (6712 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood). The film, designed by Award winning Production Designer Rolf Zehetbauer (Cabaret, The NeverEnding Story ) is the fourth in this year’s series highlighting the work of renowned Production Designers and their creative colleagues. A discussion will follow, enlightening the audience about the unique challenges of filming Das Boot, a wartime action film, nearly all of which takes place inside the claustrophobic interior of a German U-Boat, or WW2 submarine. Production Designer John Muto will host a panel that will include an expert on submarine warfare provided by the U.S. Navy. For information: http://www.americancinemathequecalendar.com/content/das-boot-0 Possibly one of the best-known German films of all time, Das Boot (1981), directed by Wolfgang Petersen, is based on the novel by Lothar Günther Buccheim and carries a strong anti-war message, drawn from the experiences of Second World War veterans in one of Germany’s infamous U-boat submarines. Nominated for six Oscars, the film stars Jürgen Prochnow, Herbert Grönemeyer and Klaus Wennermann in the fictional story of a U-96 and its crew patrolling the waters during World War II.

Within its research and public affairs programs, the analysis of Germany’s intellectual and cultural traditions and debates has always been central to the Institute’s work.

Homer's Iliad Via the Movie Troy (2004)
23 November 2017 Homer’s Iliad via the Movie Troy (2004) PROFESSOR EDITH HALL One of the most successful movies of 2004 was Troy, directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Brad Pitt as Achilles. Troy made more than $497 million worldwide and was the 8th- highest-grossing film of 2004. The rolling credits proudly claim that the movie is inspired by the ancient Greek Homeric epic, the Iliad. This was, for classical scholars, an exciting claim. There have been blockbuster movies telling the story of Troy before, notably the 1956 glamorous blockbuster Helen of Troy starring Rossana Podestà, and a television two-episode miniseries which came out in 2003, directed by John Kent Harrison. But there has never been a feature film announcing such a close relationship to the Iliad, the greatest classical heroic action epic. The movie eagerly anticipated by those of us who teach Homer for a living because Petersen is a respected director. He has made some serious and important films. These range from Die Konsequenz (The Consequence), a radical story of homosexual love (1977), to In the Line of Fire (1993) and Air Force One (1997), political thrillers starring Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford respectively. The Perfect Storm (2000) showed that cataclysmic natural disaster and special effects spectacle were also part of Petersen’s repertoire. His most celebrated film has probably been Das Boot (The Boat) of 1981, the story of the crew of a German U- boat during the Battle of the Atlantic in 1941. The finely judged and politically impartial portrayal of ordinary men, caught up in the terror and tedium of war, suggested that Petersen, if anyone, might be able to do some justice to the Homeric depiction of the Trojan War in the Iliad.

Ruth Kluger’s Holocaust memoir weiter leben: Eine Jugend and its English Language version written ten years later, Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered, are analyzed for their postmodernist challenge to traditional notions of testimony and genre. W. G. Sebald’s novel The Emigrants is examined for its “imagetext” constructions that act to elucidate aspects of mourning and Vergangenheitsbewältigung (dealing with the past).
