Course Information
Description
This course will focus on exemplary films made in, around, and about Berlin. In the initial sessions, we will consider well-known features and look at how the metropolis has been represented during the course of Germany’s fraught 20th-century history and into the present: from the Weimar Republic and the Nazi era to the postwar period, the Cold War, the fall of the wall, and unification. In the final part of the course we will survey the various filmic shapes the city has assumed in the new millennium. To this end we will screen representative works and discuss pertinent selected readings.
Course Notes
No previous course work in German or film studies is required or presumed, nor is a knowledge of German.
