Free Download Carrie Collenberg-González, "Moving Frames: Photographs in German Cinema "
English | ISBN: 1800733763 | 2022 | 258 pages | PDF | 30 MB
As the building blocks of moving pictures, photographs have played an integral role in cinema since the dawn of the medium―a relationship that has grown more complexly connected even as the underlying technologies continue to evolve. Moving Frames explores the use of photographs in German films from Expressionism to the Berlin School, addressing the formal and narrative roles that photographs play as well as the cultural and historical contexts out of which these films emerged. Looking beyond and within the canon, the editors gather stimulating new insights into the politics of surveillance, resistance, representation, and collective memory functioning through photographic rupture and affect in German cinema.

Free Download Maria Fritsche, "Homemade Men in Postwar Austrian Cinema: Nationhood, Genre and Masculinity "
English | ISBN: 0857459457 | 2013 | 228 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Despite the massive influx of Hollywood movies and films from other European countries after World War II, Austrian film continued to be hugely popular with Austrian and German audiences. By examining the decisive role that popular cinema played in the turbulent post-war era, this book provides unique insights into the reconstruction of a disrupted society. Through detailed analysis of the stylistic patterns, narratives and major themes of four popular genres of the time, costume film, Heimatfilm, tourist film and comedy, the book explains how popular cinema helped to shape national identity, smoothed conflicted gender relations and relieved the Austrians from the burden of the Nazi past through celebrating the harmonious, charming, musical Austrian man.

Free Download Michael Cowan, "Walter Ruttmann and the Cinema of Multiplicity: Avant-Garde Film – Advertising – Modernity "
English | ISBN: 9089645853 | 2014 | 260 pages | PDF | 4 MB
-Winner of the Willy Haas Award for best book on German cinema-Finalist for the Kraszna-Krausz Award in the category of Moving Image-Honourable mention in the BAFFTS Books Prize. In this award-winning study, Michael Cowan reframes our understanding of early avant-garde film by probing the career of one of its towering figures. Walter Ruttmann was a pioneer of both experimental and documentary film, but also active in advertising and-after 1933-Nazi propaganda. Examining Ruttmann’s work as a whole, Cowan’s book reevaluates experimental film culture by probing the links between abstraction, montage and modes of governmentality that were crucial to mass modernity in both its democratic and fascist variants.

Gilles Mouëllic examines improvisational practices that can be specifically attributed to the cinema and argues in favors of their powers as instigators of unprecedented forms of expression. Improvising Cinema reflects both on the permanence of attempting improvisation and the relationship between technology and aesthetics. Mouëllic concludes preservation becomes even more invaluable in the case of improvisation, as the creative act exists only within the brief time span of the performance.
