a. Read the text below and sum it up in 50 words. 10 points
One miserable winter evening, while sifting through some
research material at the British FilmInstitute, 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 Isfilm directing a male
profession? This was intriguing since at the time it was unheard-of
for a male-dominated profession to spotlight deliberately its own
gender imbalance.
The press release was part of a publicity campaign designed to
promote a new film called TooYoung For Love, made by first-time
director Erica Balgne. The film was unremarkable and hardlyoriginal
but the hook they came up with was the fact that it was directed by
a woman. According tothe distributor, before Balgne, only one woman
in the history of German cinema had sat in thedirectors chair. This
is not true: there were others, and the press release mentions the
mostobvious example, Leni Reifenstahl, only to dismiss her as a
special case. Nevertheless, thenumber of women directors working in
the cinema in Germany or indeed anywhere else inEurope had been
negligible.
It seems astounding that a mere 20 years later, Germany boasted
one of the most vibrant andcritically 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 thefilm scene owes much to the
womens 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
drawingon the Nazi past and its aftermath, and has resulted in
films which offer re-readings of historicalevents from a female
perspective.
