This volume explores the notion of German cinema as both a national
and increasingly transnational entity. It brings together chapters
that analyse the international circuits of development and
distribution that shape the emerging films as part of a
contemporary "German cinema", the events and spectacles that help
frame and re-frame national cinemas and their discoverability, and
the well-known filmmakers who sit at the vanguard of the
contemporary canon. Thereby, it explores what we understand as
German cinema today and the many points where this idea of national
cinema can be interrogated, expanded and opened up to new readings.
At the heart of this interrogation is a keen awareness of the
technological, social, economic and cultural changes that have an
impact on global cinemas more broadly: new distribution channels
such as streaming platforms and online film festivals, and audience
engagement that transcends national borders as well as the cinema
space. International film production and financing further
heightens the transnational aspects of cinema, a quality that is
often neglected in marketing and branding of the filmic product.
With particular focus on film festivals, this volume explores the
tensions between the national and transnational in film, but also
in the events that sit at the heart of global cinema culture. It
includes contributions from filmmakers, cultural managers and other
professionals in the field of film and cinema, as well as scholarly
contributions from academics researching popular culture, film, and
events in relation to Germany.
