The "Berlin School" of German film

The German film directors Christian Petzoldt, Angela Schanelec, Valeska Grisebach and Matthias Luthardt all belong to what is known as the "Berlin School" of film. Hans-Georg Rodek explains that "this school of film takes its name from that fact that all these directors – from Luthardt, born in 1972 to Petzholdt, born in 1960 and the oldest among them – have now truly arrived in Berlin, as has the reality of the new, unadorned republic. And reality is the Berlin School's key word – even if it's not the kind of reality captured on the streets with a shaky video camera... The members of the Berlin School are not polemicists, they're observers. They don't examine reality to reproduce it, isolate it or examine its psychological aspects, but to convert it into an artificial form which passes reality through a sieve until it reaches its purest form. Reduction serves as the sieve; there's not much talking, the acting doesn't use expressive gestures, and the editing is kept to a minimum. The members of the Berlin School shun the manipulative devices of filmmaking and, like ethnologists, tries to make themselves invisible so that their presence doesn't distort the results of their research."
