Events & Calendars "The Return of the Living Dead: World War I in Film": Talk by Philipp Stiasny

Wars do not end when the fighting stops. Berlin-based film historian Dr. Philipp Stiasny, editor of the journal Filmblatt and author of the award-winning book Das Kino und der Krieg: Deutschland 1914-1929 (“Cinema and War: Germany 1924-1929”), will examine how the wounds and memories of the “Great War” continued to fester not primarily in the form of combat movies but as a subtext in melodramas, thrillers and vampire films of the 1920s and 1930s.

The presentation at this CHI Salon is co-sponsored by the Department of German, the Eastman Fund, the Lamont Fund, the European Studies Program and the Film and Media Studies Program. Join us for wine, tapas and conversation. Childcare will be provided.
