Fall 2006. BIRGIT TAUTZ. A study of selected films made in Germany under the auspices of the Nazis (1933-1945). Illustrates that Nazi cinema was as much entertainment as it was overt propaganda in the service of a terror regime; therefore includes examples of science fiction, adventure films , and adaptations of literature, as well as anti-Semitic and pro-war feature films and documentaries. Examines three interrelated areas: 1) how Nazi cultural politics and ideology defined the role of cinema; 2) how the films produced in Germany between 1933 and 1945 supported and/or undermined the Nazi regime; and 3) how politics, manipulation, and propaganda work through entertainment. No knowledge of German is required.
