One miserable winter evening, while sifting through some research material at the British Film Institute, I came across a curious press release. Undated, but apparently written in the early nineteen-sixties, it had been issued by a West German film distributor and bore the headline “Is film directing a male profession?” This was intriguing since at the time it was unheard-of for a maledominated profession to spotlight deliberately its own gender imbalance. The press release was part of a publicity campaign designed to promote a new film called ‘Too Young For Love’, made by first-time director Erica Balgne. The film was unremarkable and hardly original but the hook they came up with was the fact that it was directed by a woman. According to the distributor, before Balgne, only one woman in the history of German cinema had sat in the director’s chair. This is not true: there were others, and the press release mentions the most obvious example, Leni Reifenstahl, only to dismiss her as a “special case”. Nevertheless, the number of women directors working in the cinema in Germany – or indeed anywhere else in Europe – had been negligible. It seems astounding that a mere 20 years later, Germany boasted one of the most vibrant and critically acclaimed stables of women directors in Europe, and women film-makers existed in such numbers as to warrant setting up their own trade association. This staggering transformation of the film scene owes much to the women’s movement and the campaigning initiative of the film-makers. The secret of German women directors’ success is probably also their choice of subject matter. Their films are often autobiographical or based on the lives of actual women; this means drawing on the Nazi past and its aftermath, and has resulted in films which offer re-readings of historical events from a female perspective. b. Identify the theme of the fragment and comment on it. Use evidence from the text to support your ideas. (100 words) 20 points SUBJECT 2
