Singing to seduce – The illusion of musical films in Nazi Germany

“Singing to seduce – The illusion of musical films in Nazi Germany” deals with the musical and lyrical aspects of Nazi-cinema and investigates further propaganda elements. Based on the musical films “Vienna Blood” (1942) and “Operetta” (1940) by Willi Forst, “We Make Music” (1942) by Helmut Käutner and “The Beggar Student” (1936) by Georg Jacoby, this dissertation analyses the manipulative content of these films and compares them with other musical films of the Third Reich.

about

I am an Austrian filmmaker, photographer and graphic designer based in Vienna and Graz. My passion for art and creation began early through music and later expanded into film. During my school years, I taught myself the fundamentals of filmmaking. After gaining professional experience through various projects in Austria and Germany, I began my studies in Performing and Audiovisual Arts at the Université de Lorraine in 2014.

My first experience as an actor in Délectation (2016) inspired me to direct my first short film, 80 m², which was showcased at the Short Film Corner of the Festival de Cannes in 2018. During this time, I spent a year at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo as an exchange student, focusing on Multimedia Arts. I later completed my Master's degree in Film Aesthetics at the Université Toulouse - Jean Jaurès in 2019. That same year, I moved to Vienna, where I currently work as a filmmaker, photographer, and graphic designer after completing studies at Die Graphische.

My recent short films, Marino (2021) and Bighellone (2024), have been screened at both national and international festivals, with Bighellone winning the Public Choice Award at the Austrian Film Festival. My latest short film, Nikolo, is currently in post-production.

 

Beyond my artistic projects, I have gained experience as a communication manager at the Institut français d’Autriche (French Embassy in Austria). Currently, I am producing photography and video content for the Austrian Ministry of European and International Affairs.

 

In addition, I specialize in event communication, encompassing scriptwriting, copywriting, video production and editing, photography and image editing, as well as poster, social media, and event design.
