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.-- CN - PN1993.5.G33 SN - 9781782389972 SN - 1782389970 SN - 9781782389965 SN - 1782389962 KW - Motion pictures : Political aspects : Germany (East) KW - Motion picture industry : Germany (East) : History : 20th century.
