One of the most fascinating aspects of film studies is how it can
explain more about the nature of "closed" societies. In Eastern
Europe, artists, intellectuals, and entertainers are now free to
create film outside the direct control of the state. This unique
handbook convincingly shows how much film art was still being
produced behind the Iron Curtain even during such repressive
periods as those under Stalin and Brezhnev. Thomas J. Slater has
compiled a valuable history of cinematic evolution in the Soviet
Union and Eastern Europe through the use of detailed
historiographical essays for each country. The dramatic changes in
the political and economic structures of Eastern Europe that
occurred during 1989-90 have revealed even more about courageous
filmmakers who worked under difficult conditions. Many were still
able to produce artistically important films, but filmmakers were
often forced to become propagandizers for their authoritarian
governments. This book outlines the film achievements in the Soviet
Union, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, East Germany,
Romania, and Bulgaria, and how their people responded to the films
they were allowed to see. An appendix contains a chronology of
major historical, cultural, and film events in the Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe during the past 100 years. This book will be of
great value to scholars not only of film studies, but also of
history, social and political science, communications, culture, and
the fine arts. The handbook is an excellent addition to the
collections of academic and public libraries and provides a vital
listing for film historians and filmmakers.
