New essays examining the differences and commonalities between late
Weimar-era and early Nazi-era German cinema against a backdrop of
the crises of that time. Hitler's Machtergreifung, or seizure of
power, on January 30, 1933, marked the end of the Weimar Republic
and the beginning of the Third Reich, and German film scholarship
has generally accepted this date as the break between Weimar and
Nazi-era film as well. This collection of essays interrogates the
continuities and discontinuities in German cinema before and after
January 1933 and their relationship to the various crises of the
years 1928 to 1936in seven areas: politics, the economy, concepts
of race and ethnicity, the making of cinema stars, genre cinema,
film technologies and aesthetics, and German-international film
relations. Focusing both on canonical and lesser-known works, the
essays analyze a representative sample of films and genres from the
period. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of
Weimar and Third Reich cinema and of the sociopolitical, economic,
racial, artistic, and technological spheres in both late Weimar and
the early Third Reich, as well as to film scholars in general.
