Cinema Cultures of Integration: Film Distribution and Exhibition in the GDR and Czechoslovakia from the Perspective of Two Local Cases, 1945-1960

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In Czechoslovakia as in the GDR, state authorities set out to create a distinctive socialist film culture. Going to the movies was meant to be more than a form of entertainment: officials sought to shape viewers' hearts and minds by selecting, distributing and screening particular kinds of films. To this end, state officials engaged in many practices of exclusion. They banned or censored countless films, especially those from the capitalist West. They imposed strict limits on cinematic production, dictating the topics that films could address as well as the people who could make them. Though exclusion remained a constant of socialist film culture, we argue that cinema going also produced the opposite effect. Above all, state authorities viewed cinemasas a tool of social inclusion, capable of spreading shared values and emotions. Mass screenings in schools and factories were meant to promote a sense of collective identity.
