This module will focus on recent coming-of-age films of the German-speaking countries. It will provide an introduction to reading film, taking into account its narrative, ideological, and contextual aspects. We will consider how coming-of-age films both reflect and feed into debates about contemporary culture and society in the German-speaking countries. Special emphasis will be placed on how this is achieved through the transitions, transformations and moments of discovery characteristic of the genre.
