{"product_id":"the-berlin-school-rajendra-roy-9780870708749","title":"The Berlin School: Films from the Berliner Schule","description":"Beginning around 15 years ago, a loose affiliation of scholars, writers and filmmakers living in Berlin began presenting films that offered a new, aesthetically driven form of political cinema. Abandoning the post-totalitarian context embraced by most commercially popular German films at the time, these films pursued a stylized realism to explore and address a national crisis of identity and purpose. Films like Christian Petzold's \u003ci\u003eDie Innere Sicherheit\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eThe State I Am In\u003c\/i\u003e) and Angela Schanelec's \u003ci\u003eMein langsames Leben\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003ePassing Summer\u003c\/i\u003e) marked the first movement within German cinema to push the art form forward since filmmakers like Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog and Margarethe von Trotta established New German Cinema in the 1960s and 1970s. Published to accompany the first extensive screenings of these films in the United States, \u003ci\u003eThe Berlin School\u003c\/i\u003e presents an engrossing overview of the movement. Essays by curators, film critics and filmmakers associated with the Berlin School place the movement in a larger historical context and examine the influence of collaborative communities that developed around the Berlin Film Festival. Building on MoMA's long history of research around German cinema, \u003ci\u003eThe Berlin School\u003c\/i\u003e provides a foundation for new scholarship on contemporary German filmmaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rajendra Roy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0870708740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870708749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Museum of Modern Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 9.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Rajendra Roy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947422777599,"sku":"9780870708749","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_15723b76-c34f-4d76-a1b9-29037439bdf9.jpg?v=1681518634","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-berlin-school-rajendra-roy-9780870708749","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
