Product Information
One of the most famous special-effects sequences in the history of cinema is the robot's anthropogenesis in Metropolis. The scene has become an emblem for the astonishing technical and aesthetic achievements of German filmmakers. Not only did special effects shape the look of many iconic films, they are also central to a comprehensive understanding of German silent film culture. Employed to visualize ideas and emotions in a medium-specific way, special effects demonstrated technology's creativity and ability to transcend physical reality. By so doing, they played a decisive role in the evolution of cinematic expressivity. Special effects embody techno-romantic lines of thought, a concept that describes efforts to harness technology, the epitome of modern materialism, for the purpose of accessing a spiritual realm. While special effects have been mainly considered as spectacles or practical tools to date, this book foregrounds their function as an artistic device.

Reviews
This is an original, deeply-researched approach to the fascination produced by German silent cinema, with welcome emphasis on the contributions of creative technicians working with their directors. The author evokes films with loving, accurate finesse. Her perspective is especially valuable in its use of key German-language materials from the period. - Janet Bergstrom, University of California, Los Angeles Loew's masterful analysis, including never-before-seen production details of the most emblematic films of German cinema's Golden Era, decisively shifts special effects from the margins of film history to the very center of our conversation about silent cinema's claims to art. --Scott Curtis, Northwestern University, author of The Shape of Spectatorship: Art, Science, and Early Cinema in Germany Meticulously researched and carefully argued, Special Effects and German Silent Film explores the technological innovations of Guido Seeber and Eugen Schüfftan during the Weimar period and the aesthetic theory that both inspired and responded to their artistry. YTechno-RomanticismOE expresses the deep ambivalence towards new technologies associated with war, mass production, and various assaults on nature and the human sensorium. Cinema, in Loew's compelling study, offers another, optimistic counter-image of this modernity. In such masterpieces as Nosferatu, Metropolis, and Student of Prague, cinema transcends the physical world envisioning the oneiric and occult realms, heretofore hidden interiorities, and expressions of the spirit. The machine vision of cinema gives rise to Romantic optics, a transcendental and eccentric vision that migrates, at the end of this book, from UFA to Hollywood. A superb study of how technology, imagination, and a flair for the occult orient cinema toward its enchanted Romantic past and catapult it to its sublimely high-tech future. -Jennifer Fay, Vanderbilt University, author of Inhospitable World: Cinema in the Time of the Anthropocene, "Katharina Loew's Special Effects and German Silent Filmis one of the latest and most prestigious publications in the expansive Film Culture in Transition series from Amsterdam University Press. Loew's new study covers one of the most important and interesting periods in early film history, and brings a range of industrial, aesthetic and critical perspectives to illuminate an intriguing central theme of 'techno-romanticism'. [...] [This book] will no doubt become a standard reference work concerning its central topics." - Will Kitchen, Early Popular Visual Culture, 2021 "This is an original, deeply-researched approach to the fascination produced by German silent cinema, with welcome emphasis on the contributions of creative technicians working with their directors. The author evokes films with loving, accurate finesse.

Her research makes a compelling case for the impact of special effects on debates about cinema's value as an art form. Future scholars of this period will find this monograph invaluable, as much for the fascinating argument as for the vast repertoire of archival material that Loew offers." - Sean Lambert, German Studies Review, Vol. 45, No. 3, "Katharina Loew's Special Effects and German Silent Film is one of the latest and most prestigious publications in the expansive Film Culture in Transition series from Amsterdam University Press.
