OverviewThe national cinemas of Czechoslovakia and East Germany were two of the most vital sites of filmmaking in the Eastern Bloc, and over the course of two decades, they contributed to and were shaped by such significant developments as Sovietization, de-Stalinization, and the conservative retrenchment of the late 1950s. This volume comprehensively explores the postwar film cultures of both nations, using a stereoscopic approach that traces their similarities and divergences to form a richly contextualized portrait. Ranging from features to children's cinema to film festivals, the studies gathered here provide new insights into the ideological, political, and economic dimensions of Cold War cultural production.

Table of ContentsReviewsA valuable contribution to the study of cinema in Czechoslovakia and the former GDR-and a rare example of a volume that 'looks East' and seeks to situate these two national cinemas within the broader context of Eastern European film production as a whole. * Sean Allan, The University of Warwick Given the signal role that the most important of the arts (as Lenin called cinema) plays in modern society, the book's intellectual appeal transcends the disciplinary confines of film studies, offering a wealth of insights into the communist experiment with a classless society.
