Summary:

Van Dassanowsky (German and film studies, U. of Colorado) and Speck (film studies, Virginia Commonwealth U.) present a collection of 27 essays that provide methodologically and stylistically variable explorations of the "New Austrian Film" (which is not strictly defined, but seems to have emerged largely in the 1980s and become established in the 1990s). The contributions include close readings and psychological studies, sociopolitical and semiotic analyses, and formalistic examination and impressionistic reportage and interview, among other approaches. Among the film makers that receive sustained attention are Barbara Albert, Michael Haneke, Ulrich Seidl, Stefan Ruzowitzky, Gotz Spielmann, Michael Glawogger, and Hubert Sauper.
