From Weimar Germany to Hollywood to East Berlin, Brecht on Film and
Radio gathers together a selection of Bertolt Brecht's own writings
on the new film and broadcast media that revolutionised arts and
communication in the twentieth century. Bertolt Brecht's hugely
influential views on drama, acting and stage production have long
been widely recognised. Less familiar, but of profound importance,
are his writings on film and radio. From Weimar Germany to
Hollywood to East Berlin, Brecht on Film and Radio gathers together
for the first time a selection of Brecht's own writings on the new
film and broadcast media that fascinated him throughout his life
and revolutionised arts and communication in the twentieth century.
Marc Silberman's full editorial commentary sets Brecht's ideas in
the context of his other work."I strongly wish that after their
invention of the radio the bourgeoisie would make a further
invention that enables us to fix for all time what the radio
communicates. Later generations would then have the opportunity to
marvel how a caste was able to tell the whole planet what it had to
say and at the same time how it enabled the planet to see that it
had nothing to say." (Bertolt Brecht)
