	Movies - New German Cinema

New German cinema is a period in German cinema which lasted from the late 1960s into the 1970s. It saw the emergence of a new generation of directors. Working with low budgets, and influenced by the maverick "New Hollywood" film-makers, such directors as Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, Volker Schlöndorff, Margarethe von Trotta, Hans-Jürgen Syberberg and Wim Wenders made names for themselves and produced a number of "small" motion pictures that caught the attention of the art house crowd, and enabled these directors (particularly Wenders and Schlöndorff) into better-financed productions which were backed by the big US studios. Their success sparked a renaissance in German films which may not have returned the country to the glory days of the UFA, but did bring the film industry back to Germany and encouraged other German filmmakers to make quality movies.
