Download or read book A Portrait Of Leni Riefenstahl written by Audrey Salkeld and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leni Riefenstahl will always be remembered for her brilliant film of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin - still rated as one of the best documentaries ever made. Before that she was acclaimed for her roles in silent feature films, when German cinema was in its artistic heyday in the 1920s. She pioneered the box office success of such classic mountaineering dramas as The White Hell of Piz Palu and then began to direct her own films. The Blue Light was admired by Hitler and led to her filming the Wagnerian Nuremberg Rally of 1934. After the war she was shunned by the film industry, despite a court in 1952 proclaiming her not guilty of supporting the Nazis in a punishable way. Her undoubted charisma led to many affairs and grandiose schemes - deep sea diving in her seventies and still filming wildlife in her nineties. Audrey Salkeld has sifted the fact from the legend and gives us a moving portrait of the great movie `star' who suffered more in the `wilderness' than her enduring fame suggests.

Download or read book The Many Names of Leni Riefenstahl written by Therese . and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Biographies, , language: English, abstract: Leni Riefenstahl has been, and still is, a much-discussed person. She has been called many things, and given many labels. She has been called a liar, a man-eater, a Nazi, an extraordinary talent and a genius. She was an actress, director, dancer, filmmaker and photographer. In her career, she has done everything between making Nazi propaganda films, to taking photos of Mick Jagger, to photograph unknown tribes in Africa. Leni had many talents, but her great passion, and what she is best known for is her great filmmaking. She was the brain behind the masterpiece of propaganda films Triumph of the Will [1935], which she made for Hitler and the Nazi Party before World War 2. She was a close friend to Hitler before and during the war, and as described in Bach (2007 p.388) she is probably best known as “Hitler’s Filmmaker”.

Download or read book Riefenstahl Screened written by Neil Christian Pages and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leni Riefenstahl is larger than life. From the lure of her persona as it enters our homes via television to our pleasure in the recognition of her film images at rock concerts, to her place as part of the history of the Nazi period, Riefenstahl lives on in our imagination and in our cultural productions. Thus, the editors' introduction to this volume examines the manner in which Riefenstahl 'haunts' debates on aesthetics and politics, and how her legacy reverberates in the contemporary cultural scene. The editors view the collection as a three-part framework. The essays in the opening section of the book show that Riefenstahl is still very much alive and well and controversial in popular culture. Her films continue to determine the way in which we think about the Nazi period, providing instantly recognizable images and messages that often go unquestioned. We cannot separate these phenomena from Riefenstahl's years of avid self-fashioning. The second section of the book offers treatments of the shifting, mobile relationship between Riefenstahl's stubborn attempts to create and control her personae and her reactions to others' re-appropriations of the meanings of her life and work. Reading the texts and discourses surrounding 'Riefenstahl, ' these scholars treat her memoirs - and her repeated assertions about herself as a springboard into understanding anew how we might approach her films in a productive way. The closing section of the volume comprises essays that go right to the heart of the matter: Riefenstahl's films and photography. The new contexts theoretical discussions and emerging discourses that animate these essays include Scarry's treatise on beauty, justice and the global, the problems of history and memory, the place of Riefenstahl's filmmaking technique in contemporary cinema, and her appropriation of German musical traditions. Fueled by the work of a diverse range of scholars, then, "Riefenstahl" Screened offers an opportunity to rethink the place of Leni Riefenstahl and her work in contemporary culture and in academic discourse. It insists upon a critical self-examination that maps a topography of how scholars and teachers avail themselves of Riefenstahl's corpus.

Download or read book Duchamp Slash Riefenstahl written by Peter Dudar and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Duchamp Slash Riefenstahl" is a screenplay. On one level it is an edgy erotic fantasy; on another it is an interpretation of significant trends in twentieth century culture - both good and evil. Dada-affiliated artist Marcel Duchamp encounters Nazi-affiliated filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl at Jean Cocteau's residence in Milly-La-Foret, just after the two have abandoned their life's works: The Large Glass and Penthesilea. Re-examining their careers, Marcel strips Riefenstahl's Olympia down to its essence. Riefenstahl surmises that Duchamp's Given (Etant donnes) is post-orgasmic. Congruities with other artists come to light, with special attention paid to Jean Cocteau, Dziga Vertov, Yves Klein, Jackson Pollock and Michael Snow. "Duchamp Slash Riefenstahl" considers the way these artists used the concepts of contemporary physicists. And metaphysics comes into play when Shiva, the cosmic dancer of creation and destruction, arrives in Milly-La-Foret, "a place divided from the rest of the world."
