"The Cinema Makers investigates how cinema spectators in southeastern and central European cities became cinema makers through such practices as squatting in existing cinema spaces, organizing cinema ""events,"" writing about film, and making films themselves. Drawing on a corpus of interviews with cinema activists in Germany, Austria, and the former Yugoslavia, Anna Schober compares the activities and artistic productions they staged in cities such as Vienna, Cologne, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Ljubljana, Belgrade, Novi Sad, Subotica, Zagreb, and Sarajevo. The resulting study illuminates the differences and similarities in the development of political culture—and cinema’s role in that development—in European countries with pluralist-democratic, one-party socialist, and post-socialist traditions.

Reviews for The Cinema Makers: Public Life and the Exhibition of Difference in South-Eastern and Central Europe Since the 1960s

'Schober also impressively captures the tone and spirit of 1960s youth culture, its irreverence, its politics and its playfulness.'  -- The Slavonic and East European Review, Dragana Obradović 'This volume proposes a convincing, refreshing, and inspiring interpretation of almost forty years of film activism in central and south-eastern Europe. This book deserves to be widely read and discussed.'  -- Kult Online, Fernando Ramos Arenas 'Schober’s thorough study represents a compelling stepping-stone to further multidisciplinary work on cinema and urban public'  -- Transnational Cinemas, Martin Zebracki 'The Cinema Makers is, undoubtedly, an interesting work to understand arthouse cinema in terms of production and consumption in fortress Europe and, more importantly, on its mostly unexplored margins. ' -- Afterimage: The Journal of Media Arts and Cultural Criticism, Ana Bento-Ribeiro '[T]his is an authoritative yet accessible and stimulating study of one of cinema's headiest moments, particularly felt in Schober's ability to covey the character and vitality of 1960s European culture across diverse political environments. '  -- Ann Murray, Journal of Contemporary European Studies
