Cinema of Collaboration marks a crucial moment in English-language scholarship on East German cinema. Mariana Ivanova's study opens up a nuanced and multi-layered engagement with DEFA films beyond the cultural sphere. Sebastian Heiduschke, Oregon State University This is a very well-written and thoroughly researched study that offers interesting new insights into the transnational connections of producers and artists. In its transnational perspective, the book outlines new trajectories of cultural politics that will change how scholars think, write, and teach about DEFA. Maria Stehle, University of Tennessee
