The Cinema Makers
Public Life and the Exhibition of Difference in South-Eastern and Central Europe Since the 1960s
Anna Schober
Información del libro
The Cinema Makers investigates how cinema spectators in southeastern and central European cities became cinema makers through such practices as squatting in existing cinema spaces, organizing cinema "events, " writing about film, and making films themselves. Drawing on a corpus of interviews with cinema activists in Germany, Austria, and the former Yugoslavia, Anna Schober compares the activities and artistic productions they staged in cities such as Vienna, Cologne, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Ljubljana, Belgrade, Novi Sad, Subotica, Zagreb, and Sarajevo. The resulting study illuminates the differences and similarities in the development of political culture—and cinema's role in that development—in European countries with pluralist-democratic, one-party socialist, and post-socialist traditions.
