        Theorie des Films

        Die Errettung der äußeren Wirklichkeit

        by Siegfried Kracauer, Karsten Witte, Friedrich Walter, Ruth Zellschan

        Kracauers zuerst 1960 in Amerika erschienene Theorie des Films ist eine materiale Ästhetik, die sich mit Inhalten beschäftigt. Sie beruht auf der Annahme, daß der Film im wesentlichen eine Erweiterung der Fotografie ist und daher eine ausgesprochene Affinität zur sichtbaren Welt hat. Das bedeutet eine Absage an alle Filme mit ›theatralischer‹ Story, mit ›künstlerischen‹ oder ideologischen Ambitionen. Filme, die ihrem Medium gerecht werden, registrieren jedoch nicht nur, sondern enthüllen, ›erretten‹ die äußere Wirklichkeit: sie öffnen unseren Blick für das Kleine, Zufällige, Unbeabsichtigte und Unbestimmte.

        Mit einem Nachwort von Horst Mocker

        by Ulrich Plenzdorf, Horst Mocker

        Ulrich Plenzdorf wurde am 26. Oktober 1934 in Berlin-Kreuzberg geboren. Er starb am 9. August 2007 in Berlin. Seine Eltern wurden wegen ihrer Mitgliedschaft in der KPD während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus mehrfach inhaftiert. Von 1949 bis 1952 besuchte er die Schulfarm Scharfenberg in Himmelpfort bei Fürstenberg (Havel). 1950 zog die Familie von West- nach Ost-Berlin um, wo Plenzdorf 1954 in Lichtenberg das Abitur bestand. In Leipzig studierte Plenzdorf anschließend Marxismus-Leninismus und Philosophie am Franz-Mehring-Institut der Karl-Marx-Universität Leipzig, verließ die Hochschule aber ohne Abschluss. Ab 1959 besuchte er die Deutsche Hochschule für Filmkunst in Potsdam-Babelsberg. Ab 1963 arbeitete er als Szenarist und Dramaturg im DEFA-Studio Babelsberg. Parallel zu seinem Studium arbeitete Plenzdorf von 1955 bis 1958 als Bühnenarbeiter. 1958-1959 war er Soldat der Nationalen Volksarmee. Bekannt wurde der DDR-Autor auch in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland durch seinen gesellschaftskritischen Roman Die neuen Leiden des jungen W. Ursprünglich als Bühnenstück geschrieben und 1972 in Halle (Saale) uraufgeführt, erschien der Roman ein Jahr später und wurde seitdem in mehr als 30 Sprachen übersetzt. Plenzdorf machte sich aber vor allem auch als Drehbuchautor zahlreicher Spielfilme (Die Legende von Paul und Paula, Der Trinker, Abgehauen) und Fernsehserien (vierte Staffel von Liebling Kreuzberg) einen Namen. Von 1992 war er Mitglied der Akademie der Künste in Berlin. Im Jahr 2004 hatte er eine Gastdozentur am Deutschen Literaturinstitut der Universität Leipzig inne. Ulrich Plenzdorf war seit 1955 mit Helga Lieske verheiratet und hatte drei Kinder.

        Realist film theory and cinema

        The nineteenth-century Lukácsian and intuitionist realist traditions

        by Ian Aitken

        'Realist film theory and cinema' embraces studies of cinematic realism and 19th century tradition, the realist film theories of Lukács, Grierson, Bazin and Kracauer, and the relationship of realist film theory to the general field of film theory and philosophy. This is the first book to attempt a rigorous and systematic application of realist film theory to the analysis of particular films. The book suggests new ways forward for a new series of studies in cinematic realism, and for a new form of film theory based on realism. It stresses the importance of the question of realism both in film studies and in contemporary life. Aitken's work will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of film studies, literary studies, media studies, cultural studies and philosophy.

        Lukácsian film theory and cinema

        A study of Georg Lukács' writing on film 1913–1971

        by Ian Aitken

        Lukácsian film theory and cinema explores Georg Lukács' writings on film. The Hungarian Marxist critic Georg Lukács is primarily known as a literary theorist, but he also wrote extensively on the cinema. These writings have remained little known in the English-speaking world because the great majority of them have never actually been translated into English - until now. Aitken has gathered together the most important essays and the translations appear here, often for the first time. This book thus makes a decisive contribution to understandings of Lukács within the field of film studies, and, in doing so, also challenges many existing preconceptions concerning his theoretical position. For example, whilst Lukács' literary theory is well known for its repudiation of naturalism, in his writings on film Lukács appears to advance a theory and practice of film that can best be described as naturalist. Lukácsian film theory and cinema is divided into two parts. In part one, Lukács' writings on film are explored, and placed within relevant historical and intellectual contexts, whilst part two consists of the essays themselves. This book will be of considerable interest to scholars and students working within the fields of film studies, literary studies, intellectual history, media and cultural studies. It is also intended to be the final volume in a trilogy of works on cinematic realism, which includes the author's earlier European film theory and cinema (2001), and Realist film theory and cinema (2006).

        European Film Noir

        by Andrew Spicer

        European Film Noir is the first book to bring together specialist discussions of film noir in specific European national cinemas. Written by leading scholars, this groundbreaking study provides an authoritative understanding of an important aspect of European cinema and of film noir itself, for too long considered as a solely American form. The Introduction reviews the problems of defining film noir, its key characteristics and discusses its significance to the development of European film, the relationship of specific national films noirs to each other, to American noir and to historical and social change. Eight chapters then discuss film noir in France, Germany, Britain and Spain, analysing both earlier developments and the evolution of neo-noir through to the present. A further chapter explores film noir in Italian cinema where its presence is not so well defined. Each piece provides a critical overview of the most significant films in relation to their industrial and social contexts. European Film Noir is an important contribution to the study of European cinema that will have a broad appeal to undergraduates, cinéastes, film teachers and researchers.

        Medieval film

        by Anke Bernau, Bettina Bildhauer

        Medieval film explores theoretical questions about the ideological, artistic, emotional and financial investments inhering in cinematic renditions of the medieval period. What does it mean to create and watch a 'medieval film'? What is a medieval film and why are they successful? This is the first work that attempts to answer these questions, drawing, for instance, on film theory, postcolonial theory, cultural studies and the growing body of work on medievalism. Contributors investigate British, German, Italian, Australian, French, Swedish and American film, exploring topics such translation, temporality, film noir, framing and period film - and find the medieval lurking in inexpected corners. In addition it provides in-depth studies of individual films from different countries including The Birth of a Nation to Nosferatu, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Medieval Film will be of interest to medievalists working in disciplines including literature, history, to scholars working on film and in cultural studies. It will also be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and to an informed enthusiast in film or/and medieval culture.
