Beloved and Rejected: Cinema in the Young Federal Republic of Germany from 1949 to 1963
Cinema in the young Federal Republic was varied, combative, and lively – surprisingly different from how established views and judgements describe it. Superficial and inconsequential? Without any interest in the thematisation of urgent societal problems or the working through of German guilt? Orientated towards kitsch and purported mainstream tastes? Homogenous and predictable?
A very different picture emerges from the 33 texts in this book which were written for the occasion of the 2016 Festival del film Locarno. As a result, a comprehensive panorama of the era and its cinema emerges, large parts of which have yet to be discovered.
