dc.description.abstractAnalyzing East German home movies presents a challenge for researchers, since 8 mm and Super 8 reels reveal a harmonious image of life under dictatorship.

This approach is especially effective as a way of distancing oneself from preconceptions about vernacular filmmaking under socialism.en
