Austria's Difficult Past

Memory of National Socialism and the Filmization of Television (1960-1980)

About this book

The role played by film in reshaping Austria's post-war national identity is often studied within narrow historical and geographical margins. Film history traditionally focuses on either the work of a sole director, German cinematography, or the immediate aftermath of World War II, and neglects the link that exists between historical television films and Austria's distinct culture of remembrance. In Austria's Difficult Past, Jakub Gortat addresses this gap by providing a comprehensive analysis of television films produced by Austrian (ORF) and German television studios between 1961 and 1980. In doing so, he explores the way films mediated the burden of memory and the legacy of Austria's complicity in the Nazi regime.
