BSA - 206 New German Cinema

German New Cinema was a cinema movement that began in the early 60's and went until the early 80's in Germany. It was a movement inspired by the French New Wave. This movement was headed by the formation of the Oberhausen Manifesto. A Manifesto that stated "The Old Cinema is dead. We believe in the New Cinema". Most movies in this movement left out the film stars and just used ordinary people, and quite often refused budgeting from larger companies.

Notable movies included
Yesterday Girl (1966) - A Film about an East German girl struggling to fit in with West German life,
Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) - A classic vampire styled film
