A Melodramatic Varnish in Ali: Fear Eats the Soul Germany emerging through the 1970s was imbued in polemic discourse concerned with the issues surrounding German identity politics. The issues around American influences within Germany’s social and political spheres proved more convoluted igniting these discourses that would be thoroughly engaged with and explored by the New German Cinema movement.

Screening: The Third Man (1949): Directed by Carol Reed, this black and white film had exceptionally articulate visuals of landscapes throughout the city of Vienna in 1948.
