Germany's national film industry has been undergoing a remarkable
resurgence since the beginning of the new millennium. German
language films have been receiving Oscar nominations, the likes of
"Downfall "and "The Lives of Others" have been winning Oscars, and
all the main international festivals, from Berlin to Cannes, have
been showcasing these films. German language cinema is again
attracting attention at home and abroad and "New Directions in
German Cinema" explores its developments since 2000. An
international group of specialists on German film, society,
culture, and politics together provide a wide-ranging study of this
remarkable turn of fortunes. They examine just what German language
film now has to offer, from the evolution of the so-called
"heritage films" which now dominate the country's mainstream and
which examine Germany's problematic pasts - the Nazi, East German,
and terrorist legacies - to those which focus on the contemporary
social reality of the Berlin Republic.
