This seminar explores the internationally successful new wave of filmmaking that flourished in West Germany from 1962-1982. Focusing on the New German Cinema as a movement and genre, we will examine how the works of major auteur directors developed new aesthetic forms to engage with the Nazi past, colonialism and migration, feminist and queer liberation, and left politics. Taught in English.
