  • War and Rape, Germany 1945

    War and Rape, Germany 1945

    Lees-Knowles Lectures Cambridge 2002-3 Antony Beevor 2. War and Rape, Germany 1945 „Red Army soldiers don't believe in “individual liaisons” with German women‟, wrote the playwright Zakhar Agranenko in his diary when serving as an officer of marine infantry in East Prussia. „Nine, ten, twelve men at a time - they rape them on a collective basis‟. The Soviet armies advancing into East Prussia in January 1945, in huge, long columns were an extraordinary mixture of modern and mediaeval: tank troops in padded black helmets, Cossack cavalrymen on shaggy mounts with loot strapped to the saddle, Lend-Lease Studebakers and Dodges towing light field guns, and then a second echelon in horse- drawn carts. The variety of character among the soldiers was almost as great as their military equipment. There were freebooters who drank and raped quite shamelessly, and there were idealistic, austere Communists and members of the intelligentsia genuinely appalled by such behaviour. Beria and Stalin back in Moscow knew perfectly well what was going on from a number of detailed reports sent by generals commanding the NKVD rifle divisions in charge of rear area security. One stated that „many Germans declare that all German women in East Prussia who stayed behind were raped by Red Army soldiers‟. This opinion was presumably shared by the authorities, since if they had disagreed, they would have added the ritual formula: „This is a clear case of slander against the Red Army.‟ In fact numerous examples of gang rape were given in a number of other reports – „girls under eighteen and old women included‟.

A: I wanted to present a group of children on whom absolute values are being imposed. What I was trying to say was that if someone adopts an absolute principle, when it becomes absolute then it becomes inhuman. The original idea was a children’s choir, who want to make absolute principles concrete, and those who do not live up to them. Of course, this is also a period piece: we looked at photos of the period before World War I to determine costumes, sets, even haircuts. I wanted to describe the atmosphere of the eve of world war. There are countless films that deal with the Nazi period, but not the pre-period and pre-conditions, which is why I wanted to make this film.

By Jennifer L. Creech. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2016. Pp. xxi + 280. Paper $38.00. ISBN 978- 0253023018. The tension between gender and socialism is inherent in many DEFA films. The first DEFA children’s film, Gerhard Lamprecht’s Irgendwo in Berlin (1946), ends with a group of boys helping Gustav’s father rebuild his automobile workshop. The only girl present, Lotte, is tasked with holding Uncle Kalle’s coat and does not participate in the reconstruction efforts. The scene’s implication that women would be excluded from building East Germany’s future is a gender-blind oversight on the filmmaker’s part. At the end of Konrad Wolf’s Der geteilte Himmel (1964), Rita chooses to subordinate her sexual desire to the collective good by returning from Berlin-West. Yet GDR studies with a feminist bent have engaged more extensively with GDR women’s literature than with DEFA films.

We believe in a new cinema!” Out of this movement to overcome the 1950s legacies of fascism emerged a wave of filmmaking that became internationally known as New German Cinema. Its filmmakers were indebted to the student movement and a vision of filmmaking and distribution based on the notion of the director as auteur. This course offers a survey of the films from this brief period of enormous output and creativity, including the films by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, Alexander Kluge, Helke Sander, Volker Schlöndorff, Margarethe von Trotta, and Wim Wenders. We will trace the influence of the women's movement on feminist aesthetics and situate the films’ negotiations of history and memory in postwar West German politics. Required reading: Julia Knight.

  • Kollektiv Im Krokodil Oder: Dokumentarfilm Als Lebensform

    Kollektiv Im Krokodil Oder: Dokumentarfilm Als Lebensform

    Grit Lemke Kollektiv im Krokodil oder: Dokumentarfilm als Lebensform »Dokumentarfilme herzustellen ist auch eine bestimmte Form zu leben. […] Man verbringt schließlich eine gewisse Art von Lebenszeit miteinander. […] Insofern würde man es gar nicht aushalten, wenn man nicht auch eine besondere Lebensform mit den Leuten hätte, mit denen man zusammen den Film herstellt.« (Volker Koepp im Gespräch mit Ingrid Poss1) Wenn ein Film von Volker Koepp bei einem Festival Premiere hat oder in größerem Rahmen aufgeführt wird, spielt sich etwas ab, das man sonst von Familienfeiern kennt: Koepp reist an, in Begleitung von Produktionsleiter Fritz Hartthaler. Man telefoniert: Wer ist schon da? Wer kommt wann? Fritz wird angewiesen, für das gemeinsame Essen zu reservieren. Weitere Anrufe werden getätigt, bis die Letzten angereist sind. Die Ersten sind inzwischen schon wieder ausgeschwärmt, was wiederum Telefonate erforderlich macht. Dazu gehören Leute vom Stab – mit denen Volker Koepp oft seit Jahrzehnten arbeitet –, Redakteure, Verleiher, Förderer, Protagonistinnen und Protago- nisten – von denen einige, wie Tanja Kloubert aus Czernowitz, irgendwann zum Stab gehören –, deren Familien, Freunde … Die Kategorien Stab, Prota- gonisten, Freunde und Familie sind nicht trennbar. Hinzu kommt das Publi- kum, dem sich der Regisseur wie kaum ein anderer immer wieder aussetzt. Erst mit ihm ist ein Koepp-Film vollständig, tritt er in die Welt. Das ist das System Koepp – oder auch: ein Universum. Die Koordinaten des Systems sind – wie es auch der Titel einer Koepp-Re- trospektive in Leipzig 2004 kurz, aber schlüssig zusammenfasste – Menschen und Landschaften. Beides gehört zusammen, der Mensch ist durch die Land- schaften hindurchgegangen, es sind historisch und kulturell determinierte Räume.

  • Women and War in the German Cultural Imagination

    Women and War in the German Cultural Imagination

    Conquering Women: Women and War in the German Cultural Imagination Edited by Hillary Collier Sy-Quia and Susanne Baackmann Description: This volume, focused on how women participate in, suffer from, and are subtly implicated in warfare raises the still larger questions of how and when women enter history, memory, and representation. The individual essays, dealing with 19th and mostly 20th century German literature, social history, art history, and cinema embody all the complexities and ambiguities of the title “Conquering Women.” Women as the mothers of current and future generations of soldiers; women as combatants and as rape victims; women organizing against war; and violence against women as both a weapon of war and as the justification for violent revenge are all represented in this collection of original essays by rising new scholars of feminist theory and German cultural studies.

Methodisch konzentriert sich Koepp in seinen Dokumentarfilmen auf die Menschen in ihrer alltäglichen Umwelt; mit ihren Hoffnungen, Sorgen und Freuden. Dabei zeichnet ihn eine aufgeschlossene Herangehensweise aus, die das Individuum in den Mittelpunkt setzt. Historische Ereignisse und Prozesse bilden ein konstantes Hintergrundrauschen, vor dem die Gesprächspartner portraitiert werden. Gleichfalls bedeutsam sind die Landschaften, in denen die Menschen eingebettet sind und die ihr Lebe auf verschiedenste Art und Weise prägen. Wesentlich werden seine Werke von persönlichen Erfahren und Erinnerungen der Subjekte strukturiert, die Koepp im Zuge seiner Reisen besucht und interviewt.
