German Expressionism was an early 20th century creative movement in Germany that influenced filmmaking. Fritz Lang was a influential German filmmaker known for expressionist films like Metropolis and M. German Expressionist films were popular domestically during World War 1 and gained international popularity after the war. The style was known for its use of shadows, sharp lines, and moods of pessimism that later influenced the American film noir genre.
German Expressionism was an artistic genre that originated in Germany in the 1920s-1930s known for its use of high contrast lighting and asymmetric compositions to depict distorted realities. Fritz Lang was a prominent German Expressionist filmmaker who directed the influential futuristic film Metropolis in 1927. The socio-economic context of Germany at the time was one of turmoil following World War 1, with widespread poverty and national reflection on the country's direction. As fascism rose, many liberal Expressionist artists fled Germany and immigrated to the United States to escape Nazism and continue their work, influencing later Western and American cinema such as Film Noir.
This document discusses Edward Steichen's career shift from pioneering art photographer to photographer focused on informational and commercial work. It notes his turning point during World War I as chief of the US Army Photographic Section, where he took realistic photographs for documentation. After the war, his style fully changed as lead photographer at Condé Nast publications from 1923-1937, where he took sharp, clear pictures intended for popular consumption. Examples of his early soft-focus art photographs are contrasted with his later realistic wartime and commercial photographs.
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.
Adolf Hitler was a German dictator who rose to power in the 1930s and led Germany during World War II. The document contains photos of Hitler at various points throughout his life and career, including as a young man, as the leader of Nazi Germany, meeting with other world leaders, and scenes from the later years of WWII. The photos provide a visual timeline of key moments and events in Hitler's life from his early days in politics through his rise to power and dictatorship over Germany.
This document discusses how artists depicted the truth and horrors of World War I through their art. It provides examples of paintings, drawings, and sculptures that aimed to realistically portray experiences of soldiers like life in the trenches, gas attacks, and treating wounded veterans. The art sought to convey the bitter reality of war to those on the home front. It also examines how postwar German artists like Otto Dix and George Grosz used a style called Neue Sachlichkeit to critically depict the devastation caused by the war through disturbing, graphic images.
Thomas Buergenthal moved to Zilina, Czechoslovakia in 1936. When Germany invaded in 1939, his family was unable to leave. In 1941, he and his family were sent to the Kielce ghetto in Poland where 27,000 Jews were held. The ghetto was liquidated in 1942. Thomas was then deported to Auschwitz in 1944. After Auschwitz, he was sent to the Sachsenhausen camp in Germany. He was later placed in an orphanage and reunited with his mother in Germany in 1945 before moving to the United States in 1951.
The document discusses the role of film and photography during World War 1. It provides examples of early camera technologies that made photography more portable and durable for documenting battles. It then shares over 20 images taken during the war that capture scenes from the front lines, battlefield surveillance from airplanes, the aftermath of bombings and battles, and portraits of soldiers. The images document major battles like Passchendaele and Verdun and come from photographers including Edward Steichen who served with the US Air Service.

German Expressionism developed in Germany during the Weimar period of 1919-1933 following World War 1. Artists responded to the social conditions including the aftermath of war, with men returning physically and psychologically damaged, and economic hardships including hyperinflation. Expressionist art portrayed inner psychic states rather than outer appearances, using distorted forms and colors to represent emotions. Major Expressionist groups included Die Brucke and Blaue Reiter, and the style influenced influential German films of the era seeking to depict internal experiences, such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Nosferatu.
The contemporary horror genre has been influenced by German Expressionism and Film Noir, which shaped how we perceive horror films through their visual styles. German Expressionism arose in the early 20th century in response to Germany's isolation during WWI and featured abstract sets and low lighting. Fritz Lang was among the most influential directors of this era, with films like Metropolis and M that blended expressionism with early elements of film noir. Film noir emerged in the 1940s-50s and was known for its low-key black and white visuals inspired by expressionism. Modern horror films still draw from the styles of expressionism and noir through elements like abstract settings and "femme fatale" characters.
Hitler was born in 1889 in Austria near the German border. His father was an intelligent senior customs official and his mother was his father's third wife. They had five children but only Hitler and his younger sister survived to adulthood. Hitler became the leader of the Nazi party in 1921 and wrote his memoir Mein Kampf. During World War II, he organized concentration camps where Jews were destroyed, including Auschwitz, Chelmno, Belzec, Majdanek, Sobibor and Treblinka. Hitler committed suicide in 1945 in Berlin.
German experssionism and 'Metropolis' (Fritz Lang)Leonie Krieger
The document provides background information on German Expressionism and its influence on Fritz Lang's film Metropolis. It discusses the social conditions in Germany after World War 1, including the heavy casualties suffered and economic hardships faced due to war reparations and hyperinflation. During this period, Germany experienced an artistic movement called Expressionism in film and other arts as a reaction to these difficulties. Expressionist films did not shy away from depicting disturbing or taboo topics. The document also gives examples of influential Expressionist artists like Ernst Kirchner and their stylistic techniques before discussing Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis, considered one of the most famous works of German Expressionist cinema.
Film noir is a term used to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas from the 1940s to 1950s that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations, featuring a low-key black-and-white visual style influenced by German Expressionism. Many noir stories and attitudes came from hardboiled crime fiction of the Depression era in America. German Expressionist film artists also influenced noir aesthetics after emigrating to Hollywood in the face of growing Nazi power in the early 20th century.

Culture and the arts flourished during the Weimar era in Germany (1919-1933) for several reasons. Photographers like August Sander and the invention of the portable Leica camera helped popularize photojournalism. The Bauhaus school had a major influence on architecture, design, and art. Many influential artists, writers, playwrights, and philosophers were active during this period, including Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill, George Grosz, Hannah Hoch, Thomas Mann, Martin Heidegger, and Arnold Schoenberg. This era also saw the rise of new forms of media like illustrated weeklies and political posters that engaged with the social and political issues of the time.
The document summarizes everyday life in the Warsaw Ghetto from 1941. It notes that the Nazis established the largest ghetto in Europe in Warsaw, forcing over 375,000 Jews into just 2.4% of the city's area by November 1940. Conditions in the overcrowded ghetto grew worse over time as the population swelled to 450,000 with refugees. Beginning in July 1942, deportations of Jews from the ghetto to the Treblinka death camp commenced, until the Germans ultimately liquidated the ghetto in May 1943 following the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
German Expressionist cinema in 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. This resulted in a cinema with greater creative freedom and experimental films that explored Expressionist themes of madness, paranoia, and urban dystopia through their use of stylized architecture, geometric forms, and stark contrasts of light and shadow.

Mussolini was able to rule Italy for a long period due to his model of fascism. The document discusses the Spanish Civil War from 1936-1939 where Republicans (Democracy and communists), Nationalists (Fascists), and Anarchists fought. The war was important as a prelude to World War 2, with countries like Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union providing support to different sides, testing new weapons and strategies. Students are assigned to create a propaganda poster recruiting for one of the factions in the Spanish Civil War.
This document discusses different perspectives on the historiography of the Holocaust:
1) Intentionalists believe the Final Solution was planned from the outset and the Nazi leadership conceived their plan early, while functionalists believe it developed over time through a process of trial and error.
2) Synthesists take insights from both positions and most historians today have moved towards a synthesis view.
3) Key figures who represented each perspective are listed.
German Expressionism was an artistic style in early 20th century Germany that depicted subjective emotions rather than objective reality through techniques like distortion, exaggeration, and fantasy. Expressionist artists explored dramatic and emotional themes using expressive color and line. The style was notable for its harshness and boldness, aiming to convey mental states through disconnected and distorted sets. While it captured the suffering of post-WWI Germany, Expressionism declined in the 1920s and its artists moved to Hollywood as the style lost popularity.
The document discusses a novel set during the early stages of World War II from 1933 to 1942. It takes place in Europe and focuses on important people like Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. Hitler was born in 1889 in Austria and rose to power in Germany starting in 1933.
The document discusses survivor experiences of the Holocaust and resistance during the Holocaust. It then covers topics like memorialization, Holocaust denial, and evidence that supports the verifiable facts of the Holocaust. Key points made include that survivors responded to their experiences in different ways, like silence or feeling guilt. Armed resistance occurred in some ghettos. Memorial sites are now important for remembrance and education. Holocaust denial arguments are refuted by overwhelming documentary and eyewitness evidence.
The Nazi party rose to power in Germany in the 1930s on a platform of anti-Semitism and German nationalism. Adolf Hitler became the leader of the party in 1920 and chancellor of Germany in 1933, establishing a totalitarian regime. The Nazis suppressed political dissent and persecuted Jews and other minority groups. Germany began aggressively expanding its territory starting with the invasion of Poland in 1939, plunging Europe into World War II. The Nazis engaged in systematic persecution and mass murder of millions of Jews and others during the Holocaust. Germany was eventually defeated by the Allied forces in 1945.
Anne Frank was a Jewish diarist who wrote about her family's experience hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II. She died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at age 15, just weeks before it was liberated by British troops. Her diary was published after her death and has become one of the most widely read books about the Holocaust.
The document discusses the 1931 film M directed by Fritz Lang. It summarizes that the film captured the social and economic instability of pre-Nazi Germany through its portrayal of organized crime in Berlin following World War 1. Both Lang and actor Peter Lorre, who played the child murderer in the film, later fled Germany due to their Jewish heritage and became prominent figures in American film noir. The document also analyzes aspects of the film's mise-en-scene, use of sound, and how it portrayed the city of Berlin and the dynamic between police and criminals.

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.
German Expressionism originated in Germany in the early 20th century as a unique style of filmmaking. It is characterized by strong contrasts, shadows, asymmetric angles, and high contrast lighting. These techniques create an unsettling and disorienting atmosphere on screen. German Expressionist films often dealt with themes of social decay, corruption, and paranoia. The style had a major influence on Hollywood and American film noir after many German filmmakers fled the rise of Nazism in the 1930s.
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.
The document provides a summary of the history and development of Greek and European cinema. It notes that Greek cinema production increased after World War II, peaking in the 1960s before declining after 1974. European cinema began commercially in 1895 in Paris and London, and influential early innovators included Eadweard Muybridge. The period after World War I saw growth in the Soviet Union and Germany. The transition to sound film began in the late 1920s. French New Wave cinema emerged in the 1950s-1960s and emphasized the director's individual style.
The British film industry has experienced periods of boom and recession over the last century as it has competed with Hollywood for audiences. Notable British films from different eras include "kitchen sink" dramas of the 1960s, comedies during the 1960s boom, and prestige films in the 2000s that found international success. British cinema has developed various cultural movements and genres over time while receiving both private and public investment to support domestic production.

European cinema has its origins in the late 19th century with pioneers developing early film technologies. Notable early movements included German Expressionism and French Impressionism. Post World War II, genres like Italian Neorealism emerged reflecting the social issues of the time. Throughout the 20th century, European films focused more on art and language over spectacle compared to Hollywood. Today, European cinema continues to produce acclaimed art house films and is celebrated through awards like the European Film Awards.
The document discusses the use of German Expressionist style in film posters during the late silent film era in Germany. It notes that Expressionist style became strongly linked to films dealing with themes of the fantastic, horrific, or futuristic. Two key films highlighted are The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) and Nosferatu (1922), which used grotesque figures and unusual typography in their posters. By the early 1930s, the use of Expressionist posters declined as the Nazi party rose to power and enforced greater conformity in art.
This document discusses several film movements and their histories:
German Expressionism emerged in response to World War 1 and used theatrical set designs adapted for film. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari in 1920 was deemed the first "art film" and horror film.
Italian Neo-Realism developed after World War 2 and used real locations and non-professional actors to focus on reality over visual style.
The French New Wave movement used lighter cameras for "street cinema" films and directors were seen as auteurs, influencing later films like Bonnie and Clyde. Jules and Jim became iconic of this movement.
The document provides a historical overview of cinematography and the British film industry from the late 19th century to present day. It discusses key early innovators, the growth of the industry in the silent film era and with the introduction of sound, major studios and films from different eras, and the British New Wave movement of the 1950s-60s. It also notes Hollywood's influence on British cinema and the commercial success of many British-themed films globally.
This document provides an abstract for a paper analyzing the German newsreel "Die Deutsche Wochenschau" produced between mid-1943 and March 1945 as Germany was losing World War II. The abstract indicates that the paper will examine how the newsreels depicted Germany and its military as the country came under increasing war-related stress. It will analyze elements of style, messaging, and discrepancies with reality in the later newsreels. The goal is to shed light on these overlooked newsreels and provide better understanding of Nazi propaganda and Germany's military and civilian circumstances during this crucial period.
The Silent Era and German ExpressionismLMckechnie98
Silent films were movies produced between 1894 and the late 1920s that had no synchronized recorded sound or spoken dialogue. Intertitles were used to convey context and dialogue. Silent films appealed to both the working class as they were accessible without reading, and the middle class as novels were adapted into films. As technology advanced, the film industry consolidated in Hollywood. German Expressionist films of 1919-1933 used experimental techniques to convey emotion through sets and acting.
The effect of Stalingrad as seen through Hunde wollt ihr ewig lebenRichard Mark
The document summarizes the 1959 West German film "Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben" about the Battle of Stalingrad. It discusses how the film portrayed the German soldiers who fought at Stalingrad as victims who bravely fought but were betrayed by the Nazi leadership. It also examines how the film contributed to the idea of the "clean Wehrmacht" and helped establish West Germany's identity in opposition to East Germany following World War 2. The film avoided addressing the Holocaust and focused on establishing West Germany as a Christian nation.
The document discusses the "Golden Years" of Weimar Germany from 1924-1929. It describes improvements in the economic, political, and cultural spheres during this period. Economically, the Dawes Plan, Rentenmark, and US loans helped stabilize Germany's economy. Politically, signing treaties like the Treaty of Locarno and forming coalitions indicated political normalization. Culturally, movements like Dadaism, Bauhaus, and Expressionism flourished, and Berlin became a vibrant cultural and artistic hub known for its nightlife. This period marked a social and economic recovery in Weimar Germany after the turmoil of its early years.
The term "art cinema" is one of the most familiar in film studies, marking out simultaneously specific filmmakers, specific films, specific kinds of cinemas, and, for some writers, specific kinds of audiences.
German Expressionist films of the 1920s used stylized, non-realistic sets and lighting techniques to convey mood and deeper meaning with limited budgets. These films dealt with dark psychological themes rather than standard genres. While short-lived, Expressionism influenced later films through its artistic control of scenery and lighting. German filmmakers who emigrated to Hollywood in the 1930s brought Expressionist techniques and influenced genres like horror and film noir. Elements of German Expressionism remain common in modern films through its legacy.
Germany is a major economic power in Europe and is one of the richest countries on the continent. Its capital and largest city is Berlin, and the official language is German. Germany has a varied landscape and climate, from coastal regions to forests, and is known for its castles, cathedrals, and historic cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Cologne. German culture is reflected in its cuisine like sausages, breads, and cakes, as well as influential figures from Einstein to Beethoven. Germany played a pivotal role in World War 2 under Hitler's Nazi regime, with dark events like the Holocaust and concentration camps.

Introduction and Comparison of Microprocessor Chip familiesNevil Dsouza
The document discusses Intel's Core i3, i5, and i7 processors. It explains that Intel introduced a new naming scheme in 2008 that divided processors into low-level (i3), mid-range (i5), and high-end (i7) based on performance rather than technical specifications. The i3 is a dual-core chip intended for basic use. The i5 provides multi-tasking capability with dual processors and increased memory speed. The i7 offers the highest performance with 4 cores, 8 threads, and larger cache for intensive applications.
Phases of distributed query processingNevil Dsouza
The document discusses phases of distributed query processing. The objectives are to convert SQL queries to relational algebra, minimize costs by executing queries efficiently across distributed databases, and simplify queries. Analysis involves lexical, syntactic and semantic analysis to verify relations and attributes. Simplification detects redundant predicates. Query restructuring rewrites queries as relational algebra expressions and applies transformation rules. Fragmentation forms queries for fragmented relations and reduction techniques optimize queries based on the fragmentation type.
