Abstract
This essay introduces West German Cinema around 1968 that has been overshadowed by Young German Cinema and New German Cinema. It presents the film schools established in response to the 1962 Oberhausen Manifesto: the Institut für Filmgestaltung Ulm (Ulm Institute for Film Design); the Deutsche Film und Fernsehakademie Berlin (dffb, German Film and Television Academy Berlin), and the Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film München (hff, University of Television and Film in Munich). And, it discusses contemporaneous film movements, such as the Neue Münchner Gruppe (New Munich Group, NMG), the Cologne XScreen, and the Hamburg Filmmacher Cooperative (Hamburg Filmmakers’ Cooperative). The schools and movements, among others, made important contributions to West German Cinemas around 1968.
