German Expressionism
German expressionism began as a creative movement in Germany during World War 1 and spread to other art forms like film across Europe. It was characterized by stylized sets, dramatic lighting, and themes of madness and insanity. Notable director Fritz Lang helped establish the film noir genre, transferring expressionist techniques like unique camera angles and maze-like plots to American crime dramas. Film noir in turn influenced modern horror films through its lighting and psychological themes.

German expressionism
German expressionism was an artistic movement in Germany between 1910-1930 that portrayed psychological states through distorted forms and unnatural colors. It began as a reaction to World War I and the isolation Germany felt, but gained international popularity after the war. Notable films like Fritz Lang's Metropolis used expressionist techniques like stark contrasts, shadows, and irregular shapes to depict inner emotions rather than realistic surfaces. This new style of filmmaking influenced genres like horror and film noir and continues to impact modern cinema through conventions adopted from early German expressionist works.
History of Horror
The Horror genre has its roots in 18th century Gothic literature and paintings depicting supernatural themes. Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein is considered one of the first science fiction stories and helped establish the monster genre. In the 1930s, Universal Studios released famous horror films like Dracula and Frankenstein, establishing the Universal monster movies cycle. German Expressionist films of the 1920s like Nosferatu also influenced early Hollywood horrors with their dark, stylized sets and lighting. Subgenres continued to emerge, including psychological horror in the 1960s exemplified by Hitchcock's Psycho, and Hammer Studios added sex and gore to classics in the late 1950s-early 1960s. Modern cycles include torture porn films beginning
German expressionism CCS Presentation
The document discusses the German Expressionist film movement between 1920-1933. It provides background on the rise of the German film industry after WWI and restrictions on foreign films. The movement began with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari in 1920 and was led by directors like Robert Wiene, F.W. Murnau, and Fritz Lang. German Expressionist films were characterized by nightmarish sets, exaggerated lighting and surreal styles. The movement declined in the late 1920s due to high budgets and Hollywood's recruitment of German talent, though it continue to influence later American film noir.
Film Noir
Film noir originated as "black film" between the 1940s-1950s and is characterized by cynical, lonely male protagonists like detectives and gangsters who are struggling to survive but ultimately lose. It has a low-key black-and-white visual style with dramatic shadows, unusual camera angles and location shooting that depicts themes of melancholy, alienation, crime and desperation in the characters' bleak and ambiguous stories, often told through narrative techniques like flashbacks and voiceovers.

German expressionism and film noir
German Expressionism arose in the 1920s in Germany as a reaction to World War 1. It used stylistic techniques like sharp angles, dramatic shadows, and high contrast lighting to create a sense of paranoia and unease. One of its most famous films, Metropolis, showed the divisions in German society between the upper and working classes. These German Expressionist films influenced the later American film noir genre of the 1940s, which also used low-key lighting and shadows to portray themes of distrust and corruption. Elements of both these earlier cinematic styles can still be seen in modern horror films through the use of lighting, shadows, and urban settings.
Film noir
Film noir refers to stylish 1940s-1950s Hollywood crime dramas known for their black-and-white visual style influenced by German Expressionism. The term was coined by French critic Nino Frank in 1946 to describe these dark films, many of which were based on hardboiled crime novels and featured archetypal characters like detectives and femme fatales embroiled in secrets and corruption in urban settings like New York City.

German Expressionist cinema of the 1920s differed from the Hollywood studio system in several key ways: it did not adopt the vertical integration model and directors maintained greater creative control, it was more closely connected to the artistic Expressionist movement in Europe, and actors were more concerned with artistic reputation than celebrity publicity. Expressionist films often featured Expressionist themes of madness, paranoia, and subjective perspectives through their use of stylized architecture, geometric forms, and stark contrasts of light and shadow.

History of horror
Horror has been an ancient art form used to terrify audiences through tales that trigger the imagination. Some of the earliest horror films were created in Germany in the 1910s-1920s during the Expressionist era. In the early 1930s, Universal Pictures popularized the genre with Gothic films like Dracula and Frankenstein, blending horror with science fiction. Advances in technology in the 1950s shifted the tone from gothic to concerns more relevant to audiences, with subgenres including horror of armageddon and horror of the demonic as seen in films like War of the Worlds.
Ccs presentation ~
German Expressionist films developed in Germany after World War 1 using unconventional styles to portray emotions during a difficult time. The films were unique due to limited resources and an isolated film industry. Expressionism influenced later horror and film noir genres with its dark moods and sets. Notable films include Metropolis and Nosferatu. While Expressionism declined in the late 1920s as filmmakers emigrated to Hollywood, its themes and styles continued to influence many famous directors and films thereafter.
