Description: New History of German Cinema, Hardcover by Kapczynski, Jennifer M. (EDT); Richardson, Michael D. (EDT), ISBN 1571134905, ISBN-13 9781571134905, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Kapczynski (German, Washington U.) and Richardson (German, Ithaca College) adopt a relatively novel approach to producing this edited history of German cinema, soliciting 88 essays that each focus in on a specific "event" of German cinematic history (., important premiers, formation of organizations, issuance of manifestos, etc.) and then consider the importance of the event within the larger context of the development of German film. The events discussed may have long been considered seminal moments, they may serve as paradigmatic stand-ins for broader trends, or they may only have achieved significance in retrospect. As a whole, the volume engages with German film both synchronically (how films construct meaning within the particular moment of their appearance or in relation to circumstances of production, distribution, and exhibition) and diachronically (how the meanings of films evolve as social, political, technological, and other circumstances change). The essays are presented in chronological order, from the November 1895 premiere of the Wintergarten Program of loop films and what they reveal about the transitional nature of early film technology to the February 2008 awarding of the German Critic's Award for Best Documentary to Ulrike Ottinger's Prater.
