First published in 1984 but continously updated ever since, CineGraph is the most authoritative and comprehensive encyclopaedia on German-speaking cinema in the German language. This condensed and substantially revised English-language edition makes this important resource available to students and researchers for the first time outside its German context. It offers a representative historical overview through bio-filmographical entries on the main protagonists, from the beginnings to the present day. Included are directors and actors, writers and cameramen, composers and production designers, film theorists and critics, producers and distributors, inventors and manufacturers. An appendix includes short introductory essays on specific periods and movements, such as Early Film, Weimar, Nazi Cinema, DEFA, New German Cinema, and German film since unification, as well as on cinematic developments in Austria and Switzerland. Sections that cross-reference names around specific professional groups and themes will prove equally invaluable to researchers.  aBergfelder, Tim [Associate Editor]  aBrownlow, Kevin [Foreword]
