The Heimat film genre, assumed to be outdated by so many, is very
much alive. Who would have thought that this genre which has been
almost unanimously denounced within academic circles, but which
seems to resonate so deeply with the general public would
experience a renaissance in the 21st century? The genre's recent
resurgence is perhaps due less to an obsession with generic
storylines and stereotyped figures than to a basic human need for
grounding that has resulted in a passionate debate about issues of
past and present. This book traces the history of the Heimat film
genre from the early mountain films to Fatih Akin's contemporary
interpretations of Heimat.
