GFI History
+ Details
The German Film Institute has a long history in the field of German Studies. It began as an intensive introductory seminar, or "clearing house" for Germanists interested in working with film; the success of this model is directly measurable by the substantial body of rigorous work on film that has been published in the field of German Studies by former participants in the Institute. From this model, the German Film Institute emerged in its current format in August 2000. It now unites scholars with a research record in the field of German film studies, and on the year's topic in particular.
2008 marks the twelfth meeting of the Institute in this form, which follows an established pattern of screenings and seminars. The meetings run for a week in August, with plenary and seminar sessions for registered participants in the mornings, and screenings in the afternoons and evenings.
The event is structured to maximize interactive exchange among the attending scholars. A substantial amount of time is devoted to close analyses of exemplary sequences as well as to intensive discussions that seek to situate the films within pertinent theoretical, analytical, and comparative perspectives. Pre-circulated materials assist participants in their preparations. The screenings are free and open to the public.
The German Film Institute is sponsored by: The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, The Department of Screen Arts and Cultures, The Insitute for the Humanities, The Office of the Vice President for Research, The Rackham School of Graduate Studies, and LS&A.
