Cultural Transfer and Political Conflicts

Film Festivals in the Cold War. Edited by Andreas Kötzing and Caroline Moine. English-language copyediting by Bill Martin.

Film festivals during the Cold War were fraught with the political and social tensions that dominated the world at the time. While film was becoming an increasingly powerful medium, the European festivals in particular established themselves as showcases for filmmakers and their perceptions of reality. At the same time, their prestigious, international character attracted the interest of states and private players. The history of these festivals thus sheds light not only on the films they made available to various publics, but on the cultural policies and political processes that informed their operations.
