Abstract
Abstract This essay discusses the German television series Tannbach (Line of Separation) to ask new questions about the representation of village life in German cinema and television. Though set during the Cold War, the series – I argue – invites us to rethink the conventional image of the village against the backdrop of twenty-first century perspectives on borders and migration, the commodification of technologies of seeing, and the Anthropocene’s impact on so-called natural habitats.
