Filmkritik was a German film magazine that appeared from 1957 to 1984.
history
The founding of the magazine Filmkritik in 1957 by Enno Patalas and Wilfried Berghahn was a deliberate break with the traditional form of film criticism that had dominated post-war Germany until then. The joy of writing and reading should be nourished by the joy of knowing. "Criticism in particular should evoke Brecht's desire in our age to understand everything in such a way that we can intervene."
An important point of reference for film criticism were authors such as Siegfried Kracauer and Lotte Eisner, who were expelled from Germany by the National Socialists . The film critics not only discussed individual films, but became an important organ of dissemination of film theoretical approaches such as author theory and genre theory partly through the translation of contributions from the Cahiers du cinéma , partly through their own contributions .
The authors of the film review included Wilfried Berghahn, Hartmut Bitomsky , Wolf-Eckart Bühler , Harun Farocki , Helmut Färber , Frieda Grafe , Ulrich Gregor , Theodor Kotulla , Uwe Nettelbeck , Dietrich Kuhlbrodt , Peter Nau , Susanne Röckel , Günter Rohrbach , Heinz Ungureit and Wim Wenders .
