Last Features is the story of forgotten films made during the time of the collapse of the Berlin Wall and German unification. With leftover GDR funds and under chaotic conditions, a group of mainly younger East German filmmakers produced approximately thirty stylistically diverse films that -- until recently -- few people ever saw. Lost in the political upheaval of the Wende, most of the films disappeared until the 2009 Wendeflicks festival in Los Angeles [co-curated by the author in conjunction with the DEFA film library] brought them back for an international audience. Now available on DVD, the films provide unique insights into the late GDR and German unification from the perspective of East German filmmakers, many of whom had few opportunities before or after the wall to realize their scripts. Topics include the generational struggle in the DEFA studio, the formation of the independent production group : "DaDaeR", East German youth culture in the 1970s, women directors at DEFA, the relationship between the artist and the state, and the protests of 1989. The book focuses in particular on the story of the creation of "DaDaeR" in 1989, which fulfilled a longstanding request by the last generation of DEFA directors for freer production conditions in the studio. Each of the six chapters focuses on specific films from the last year of DEFA and contextualizes the analysis of these last features" with a comprehensive discussion of the directors' overall oeuvre, of the historical changes in the studio and the country, and of the lasting importance of these films today. Last Features is the result of a decade of archival research and interviews with the directors, writers, and editors of the films in question. Reinhild Steingröver is an Associate Professor in the Department of Humanities at the Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester.

The cinema of the German Democratic Republic, that is, the cinema of its state-run studio DEFA, portrayed gender and sexuality in complex and contradictory ways. In doing so, it reflected the contradictions in GDR society in respect to such questions. This is the first scholarly collection in English or German to fully address the treatment of gender and sexuality in the productions of DEFA across genres (from shorts and feature films to educational videos, television productions, and documentaries) and in light of social, political, and cultural contexts. It is also unique in its investigation of previously unresearched subjects, including films and directors that have received little scholarly attention and nonconformist representations of gender and sexual embodiments, identifications, and practices. The volume presents the work of leading scholars on the GDR and allows students and scholars to examine East German film with respect to the acceptance, rejection, or nuanced negotiation of ideas of proper male and female behavior espoused by the country's brand of socialism.

In dieser Untersuchung werden erstmals in einem entwicklungsgeschichtlichen Rahmen deutsche Spielfilme im Hinblick auf die Frage nach Schuld im Nationalsozialismus analysiert. Welche Entschuldungsmuster und Schuldzuweisungen werden in den Filmen zwischen 1946 und 1989 präsentiert und wie entwickelte sich dies über die Jahrzehnte? Inwiefern sind die Filme Teil des zeitgenössischen Schulddiskurses? Verlief die Entwicklung der Schulddarstellungen in beiden deutschen Staaten in eine unterschiedliche Richtung oder gab es sogar markante Parallelen - ein gesamtdeutsches Entschuldungsmuster? Bei der Analyse wird deutlich, dass sich die Filme aus Bundesrepublik und DDR bis etwa 1965 im Hinblick auf die Schuldfrage ähnlicher waren als zumeist in der Forschung angenommen, sich danach aber in verschiedene Richtungen entwickelten. Während in der Bundesrepublik ab der Mitte der 60er Jahre die Filme den Ausprägungen des Schulddiskurses folgten, entfernten sich insbesondere die Produktionen der DDR immer mehr vom öffentlichen Schuldverständnis des Staats und präsentierten zunehmend alternative Schuldinterpretationen. Eines der großen Themen, eine Art Gretchenfrage für deutsche Filmschaffende nach 1945, bildet bis heute die Auseinandersetzung mit den Verbrechen während der Nazi-Diktatur. Der Historiker Lukas Bartholomei untersucht hier [...] exemplarisch 17 Kinofilme zwischen 1946 bis 1990 aus Ost- und Westdeutschland. [...] Für Filmfreunde und Geschichtsinteressierte gleichermaßen lesenswert! -
