Denson S: Bride of Frankenstein

Bride of Frankenstein

During the last decade, contemporary German and Austrian cinema has grappled with new social and economic realities. The “cinema of consensus,” a term coined to describe the popular and commercially oriented filmmaking of the 1990s, has given way to a more heterogeneous and critical cinema culture. Making the greatest artistic impact since the 1970s, contemporary cinema is responding to questions of globalization and the effects of societal and economic change on the individual. 	 	This book explores this trend by investigating different thematic and aesthetic strategies and alternative methods of film production and distribution. Functioning both as a product and as an agent of globalizing processes, this new cinema mediates and influences important political and social debates. The contributors illuminate these processes through their analyses of cinema’s intervention in discourses on such concepts as “national cinema,” the effects of globalization on social mobility, and the emergence of a “global culture.” The essays illustrate the variety and inventiveness of contemporary Austrian and German filmmaking and highlight the complicated interdependencies between global developments and local specificities. They confirm a broader trend toward a more complex, critical, and formally diverse cinematic scene. 	 	This book offers insights into the strategies employed by German and Austrian filmmakers to position themselves between the commercial pressures of the film industry and the desire to mediate or even attempt to affect social change. It will be of interest to scholars in film studies, cultural studies, and European studies.

Cinema and Social Change in Germany and Austria

Richard Dindo (1944-2025) ist ein herausragender Exponent des Schweizer Dokumentarfilms. Mit 'Die Erschiessung des Landesverräters Ernst S.' hat er tief auf das helvetische Selbstverständnis eingewirkt. Öffentlich aufgerüttelt haben auch 'Schweizer im Spanischen Bürgerkrieg' und Untersuchungen zum gewaltsamen Tod von Jugendlichen in den 1980er-Jahren ('Dani, Michi, Renato &amp; Max', 'Verhör und Tod in Winterthur'). Dindos Motivation galt der Erinnerung an Widerständige, an Rebellen und Träumer, oft mit Blick auf deren utopisches Potenzial. Mehr und mehr ist er dabei in autobiografischem Material fündig geworden: bei Max Frisch vorab, bei Jean Genet, Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, Arthur Rimbaud, Max Haufler, Charlotte Salomon, Henri Matisse oder Paul Gauguin. Bislang hat eine eingehende Darstellung von Dindos Methode filmischer Rekonstruktion von Erinnerung gefehlt. Ausgehend von seiner Prämisse, dass Nichterinnerung Selbstzerstörung ist, erhellt dieser Streifzug durch das OEuvre seine Bedeutung und Vielseitigkeit.

Explores British director Steve McQueen's diverse output, from video installations to independent cinema to Hollywood to the BBC

Refocus: The Films of Steve McQueen

A deep dive into the grit and glamor of America’s favorite criminal couple and the nation’s love affair with guns. On May 23, 1934, two borderline inept but ruthless criminals named Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker met their end in a hail of semiautomatic gunfire on a rural road in the Louisiana backcountry. The duo had terrorized Depression-era Middle America with a string of robberies and a brazen daylight prison escape, killing nearly a dozen police officers along the way. A legend was born. Thirty-two years later, a movie crew gathered on a Warner Bros. studio ranch to re-create the scene of Bonnie and Clyde’s violent demise. It was the end of a difficult shoot. Almost everyone involved knew they were on to something, but getting there had taken a toll on relationships both professional and personal. The result was destined to become what is arguably the landmark film of the New Hollywood era. Nothing like it had ever been attempted anything similar had, in fact, been forbidden by censorship. When the lights finally came up after an agonizing moment of black, Hollywood would never be the same. Almost sixty years since it exploded onto American screens, Bonnie and Clyde still retains the power to shock, amaze, and provoke, as fresh and relevant today as when it was first released in 1967. The movie’s resonance goes well beyond the peerless filmmaking of director Arthur Penn, producer-star Warren Beatty, and their talented team of collaborators. Bonnie and Clyde taps into a dark wellspring in the American psyche. Produced in a time of great social upheaval, with a country divided under a deeply polarizing president, the film addresses troubling questions about our country’s founding myth and its obsession with firearms, questions that remain part of our national debate. They Kill People is the story of the making of Bonnie and Clyde. It is the story of the outlaws whose real lives were anything but glamorous. Most of all, it is the story of how violence and a predilection for firearms became a fundamental part of American identity.

Bonnie and Clyde, a Hollywood Revolution, and America's Obsession with Guns and Outlaws

They Kill People

Global awareness of autism has skyrocketed since the 1980s, and popular culture has caught on, with film and television producers developing ever more material featuring autistic characters. Autism in Film and Television brings together more than a dozen essays on depictions of autism, exploring how autistic characters are signified in media and how the reception of these characters informs societal understandings of autism. Editors Murray Pomerance and R. Barton Palmer have assembled a pioneering examination of autism's portrayal in film and television. Contributors consider the various means by which autism has been expressed in films such as Phantom Thread,&nbsp;Mercury Rising, and Life Animated and in television and streaming programs including Atypical, The Bridge, Stranger Things, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Community. Across media, the figure of the brilliant, accomplished, and "quirky" autist has proven especially appealing. Film and television have thus staked out a progressive position on neurodiversity by insisting on screen time for autism but have done so while frequently ignoring the true diversity of autistic experience. As a result, this volume is a welcome celebration of nonjudgmental approaches to disability, albeit one that is still freighted with stereotypes and elisions.

 - Jurybegründung zur Nominierung zum Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse 2026
 

 Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades oder Beverly Hills - das sind die klingenden Namen des kalifornischen Idylls, in dem sie Zuflucht gefunden haben: Filmemacher und Schauspieler, Schriftsteller und Intellektuelle, die in den 1930er- und 1940er-Jahren vor den Nazis aus Europa fliehen mussten. Sie bilden eine Solidargemeinschaft der Exilierten: Bertolt Brecht, Helene Weigel und Hanns Eisler, Billy Wilder und Vicki Baum, Fritz Lang und William Wyler, Thomas und Heinrich Mann. Wer in Berlin, Wien oder Prag einen Namen hatte, folgte dem Ruf der boomenden Filmindustrie Hollywoods. Doch dieses romantische 'Weimar am Pazifik' ist nicht die ganze Geschichte: Noch während sie im beginnenden Krieg ihren mal militärischen, mal moralischen Beitrag aufseiten der Allierten leisten, werden die Geflüchteten zu Verdächtigen. Eben noch als noble Nazi-Gegner gefeiert, wird jetzt ihr Müll vom FBI durchsucht - der 'red scare' und der McCarthyismus machen aus Freigeistern und Linksliberalen feindliche 'Kommunisten'. Das Land, das Zuflucht war, wandelt sich zum Ort der Repression und Verfolgung. 

 Fesselnd und stimmungsvoll, anhand bisher unveröffentlichter Dokumente aus Archiven in Los Angeles zeichnet Jan Jekal nach, wie sich die Exilierten gegen das autoritäre Amerika wehrten - mit Aktivismus, Witz, Courage und mit Filmen, die zu Klassikern geworden sind -, aber auch, wie einige von ihnen an Amerika verzweifelten.

Suburbia. Say the word and a stream of images pass before your eyes: white picket fence, neatly mowed lawns, winding roads nicely lined with trees, pastel-tinted bungalows, bored housewives, conspicuous consumption. We all know what the suburbs are about. Or do we? This book looks again at the filmic and televised spaces we think we know so well. How are these spaces built up? What is it that makes us recognize them as suburbs? How do they function? By exploring in detail the hometowns of Desperate Housewives, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Happiness, Pleasantville, Brick and Chumscrubber, Scenes from the Suburbs examines what it means to be suburban today. An essential read for academics concerned with the ways in which our understandings of space and place change, this book will be particularly relevant for students and researchers in Suburban Studies, Film and Television Studies and Urban Geography.
