This panel will consider the legacy of feminism in the New German Cinema and its relevance for contemporary scholarship and filmmaking practices. How do these cinematic texts foreground issues of gender and sexuality while also engaging with the following concerns: voice and narration, aesthetics and politics, experimentation and popular narrative modes? Are the concerns of this generation of filmmakers taken up by filmmakers in contemporary Germany and Austria? Please send 300-word abstracts to Jennifer Creech, jennifer.creech@rochester.edu.
