Because she hadn’t made a nonfiction film she sought the help of Walter Ruttman, director of the famous German documentary Berlin: The Symphony of a Great City (1927). He agreed to do a film prologue on the Nazi rise to power and she left for Spain to scout locations for Tiefland (finished in 1954), her next fiction project. She returned from Spain in mid August 1934 and had only two weeks to prepare for filming. Hitler had combined the offices of President and Chancellor on the August 2nd death of von Hindenburg. He presided over the sixth party rally held in Nürenberg from September 4th to 10th. Triumph of the Will (1935) is the film record of his gigantic display of party power, regarded as the most effective visual propaganda for Nazism ever made. A crew of 170 worked on the film including 18 cameramen, each with an assistant. Riefenstahl built tracks to move the cameras, installed an elevator on the flagpole to get high shots, and instructed her cameramen, who wore SA uniforms to blend in, to get JUDGMENTS OF Triumph of the Will moving active footage. Riefenstahl consciously constructed Hitler as a Messianic figure. The film won “blood-chilling” Frank Capra the German Film Prize of 1935, the gold medal at the Venice Biennale and the gold medal at the Paris “cinematically dazzling and ideologically vicious” World’s Fair in 1937.

  • The Film Music of Edmund Meisel (1894–1930)
    The Film Music of Edmund Meisel (1894–1930) FIONA FORD, MA Thesis submitted to The University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy DECEMBER 2011 Abstract This thesis discusses the film scores of Edmund Meisel (1894–1930), composed in Berlin and London during the period 1926–1930. In the main, these scores were written for feature-length films, some for live performance with silent films and some recorded for post-synchronized sound films. The genesis and contemporaneous reception of each score is discussed within a broadly chronological framework. Meisel‘s scores are evaluated largely outside their normal left-wing proletarian and avant-garde backgrounds, drawing comparisons instead with narrative scoring techniques found in mainstream commercial practices in Hollywood during the early sound era. The narrative scoring techniques in Meisel‘s scores are demonstrated through analyses of his extant scores and soundtracks, in conjunction with a review of surviving documentation and modern reconstructions where available. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) for funding my research, including a trip to the Deutsches Filminstitut, Frankfurt. The Department of Music at The University of Nottingham also generously agreed to fund a further trip to the Deutsche Kinemathek, Berlin, and purchased several books for the Denis Arnold Music Library on my behalf. The goodwill of librarians and archivists has been crucial to this project and I would like to thank the staff at the following institutions: The University of Nottingham (Hallward and Denis Arnold libraries); the Deutsches Filminstitut, Frankfurt; the Deutsche Kinemathek, Berlin; the BFI Library and Special Collections; and the Music Librarian of the Het Brabants Orkest, Eindhoven.

    THE NAZI BLOOD PURGE OF 1934 APPRCWBD": \r H M^jor Professor 7 lOLi Minor Professor •n p-Kairman of the DeparCTieflat. of History / cr^LtxJ~<2^ Dean oiTKe Graduate School IV Burkholder, Vaughn, The Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Master of Arts, History, August, 1972, 147 pp., appendix, bibliography, 160 titles. This thesis deals with the problem of determining the reasons behind the purge conducted by various high officials in the Nazi regime on June 30-July 2, 1934. Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and others used the purge to eliminate a sizable and influential segment of the SA leadership, under the pretext that this group was planning a coup against the Hitler regime. Also eliminated during the purge were sundry political opponents and personal rivals. Therefore, to explain Hitler's actions, one must determine whether or not there was a planned putsch against him at that time. Although party and official government documents relating to the purge were ordered destroyed by Hermann GcTring, certain materials in this category were used. Especially helpful were the Nuremberg trial records; Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-1939; Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945; and Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1934. Also, first-hand accounts, contem- porary reports and essays, and analytical reports of a /1J-14 secondary nature were used in researching this topic. Many memoirs, written by people in a position to observe these events, were used as well as the reports of the American, British, and French ambassadors in the German capital.

  • Describe the Life of Leni Riefenstahl. Leni Riefenstahl Was Born on 22
    Describe the life of Leni Riefenstahl. Leni Riefenstahl was born on 22 August 1902 to Bertha and Alfred. At an early age, Leni has been passionate about dancing and this carried onto her early twenties until 1924 where her dancing career came to an end. Her father, Alfred, has been strongly opposed to career path as a dancer because he saw it as entertainment for lower class women. However, Leni disobeyed her father and rebelled by secretly taking dance classes even when her father had sent her to boarding school. Eventually, her father permitted her to dance in exchange that she acquire some clerical skills at his office. Leni’s early career as a dance was a turning point in her career because she had attracted the attention of Mac Reinhardt, who employed Leni to his Deutches and Kammerspeile theatres. From this, Leni received an income in which she could support herself sufficiently. Max Reinhardt took Leni to tour the major European capitals and all over Germany but her dancing career came to a halt in Prague where she had torn a ligament in her knee. Another turning point in Leni’s life was when she was waiting at a train station to see her specialist that she encountered an advertisement about Arnold Fanck’s “Mountain of Destiny”. Leni claims this was fate steering her career and that when she saw the poster, she was enthralled that, that night sge gad trouble sleeping because she was imagining herself as the “Co-star of Arnold Fanck’s films” and “jumping and running over slopes and mountains”.

REVEALING AND CONCEALING HITLER‟S VISUAL DISCOURSE: CONSIDERING “FORBIDDEN” IMAGES WITH RHETORICS OF DISPLAY by MATTHEW DONALD Under the Direction of Mary Hocks ABSTRACT Typically, when considering Adolf Hitler, we see him in one of two ways: A parodied figure or a monolithic figure of power. I argue that instead of only viewing images of Hitler he wanted us to see, we should expand our view and overall consideration of images he did not want his audiences to bear witness. By examining a collection of photographs that Hitler censored from his audiences, I question what remains hidden about Hitler‟s image when we are constantly shown widely circulated images of Hitler. To satisfy this inquiry, I utilize rhetorics of display to argue that when we analyze and include these hidden images into the Hitlerian visual discourse, we further complicate and disrupt the Hitler Myth.

The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent some time between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.[2] He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering (or dukkha), achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada—the oldest surviving branch—has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications Vajrayana, a subcategory of Mahayana, is recognized as a third branch.

  • The Social Ecologies of the Bergfilm
    humanities Article Image, Environment, Infrastructure: The Social Ecologies of the Bergfilm Seth Peabody Seth Peabody, Carleton College, One North College Street, Northfield, MN 55057, USA; [email protected] Abstract: The German mountain film (Bergfilm) has received extensive critical attention for its political, social, and aesthetic implications, but has received remarkably little attention for its role in the environmental history of the Alps. This article considers the Bergfilm within the long history of depictions of the Alps and the growth of Alpine tourism in order to ask how the role of media in environmental change shifts with the advent of film. The argument builds on Verena Winiwarter and Martin Knoll’s model of social-ecological interaction, Adrian Ivakhiv’s theoretical framework for the environmental implications of film, and Laura Frahm’s theories of filmic space. Through an analysis of Arnold Fanck’s films Der heilige Berg [The Holy Mountain, Fanck 1926] and Der große Sprung [The Great Leap, Fanck 1927], which are compared with Gustav Renker’s novel Heilige Berge [Holy Mountains, Renker 1921] and set into the context of the environmental history of the Alpine regions where the films were shot, the author argues that film aesthetics serve as a creative catalyst for environmental change and infrastructure development. While some ecocinema scholars have Citation: Peabody, Seth. 2021.
