For years, the DEFA Film Library, a research center focused on a broad spectrum of East German film, has explored transnational exchanges in the Cold War period. Building on that research, this interdisciplinary series explores the ways in which films, filmmakers, and cinematic industries participated in, were shaped by and, in turn, shaped cultural relations during the Cold War. Film, as both medium and social practice, connects a range of domains including art, advertising, photography, propaganda, industrial production and individual creative labor. Pictures, artists, and cultural mediators in this period were intimately involved in state aspirations and national tradition, while at the same time the creation, the distribution, exhibition and consumption of films were part of global transnational trends.
