Camden House German Film Classics

German Film Classics is a new series from Camden House that offers fresh perspectives on classic German-language films of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries—and on some films that are not in the canon but deserve to be. Written in a jargon-free and accessible style by widely respected scholars and connoisseurs of German film, volumes in this series are addressed to academics, students, and film enthusiasts alike. Each volume offers a probing, book-length, extended essay on an individual film, opening up relevant contexts and providing new insights into the film’s production, its place in the history of German and international filmmaking, and its most striking formal features.

Praise for the series:
“[This series] offers teachers and students of film a valuable analytical and historical resource for a variety of landmark German films. . . . Each volume represents the author’s deep, and, in some cases, years-long engagement with the film and filmmaker . . . Although each book is dedicated to a specific film, they are all engaged in a larger discussion about the role of film in society, its political aspects, and its ability to mediate human experience. . . . Especially for students, this kind of scholarship is beneficial to the development of critical thinking skills and their own relationships to film and aesthetics. . . . It is often challenging to find scholarship that can easily engage students, and these monographs are well written and accessible for undergraduates . . . .”
