Abstract

This is an in-depth analysis of three works of students of German film history and post-war culture as it leads up to late-1980s political developments. The study puts films by West German film directors Helma Saunders-Brahms, Jutta Bruckner and Marianne Rosenbaum in the context of both German film politics/feminist film theory and the West German cultural, socio-political context of the 1980s.
