  Mädchen in Uniform - Innovation and Tradition
Leontine Sagan, one of the first women directors in Germany, brought new and interesting cinematic strategies to her production of this film: somewhat surprisingly, many of these elements are those which, decades later, would come to be classified as typical "feminist" filmmaking techniques.
Sagan's masterful use of close-ups and superimpositions lends an air of immediacy to the film which intensifies the female aesthetic already present, yet her strict and precise use of lighting and camera angles create the atmosphere of repression and masculinity that is so prominent in the academy.
Sagan's techniques of shadow play, lighting and visual imagery are notable in and of themselves, but are enhanced by their contrast with her emphasis on facial expression and expressivity of dialogue and voice.

In her utilization of the new sound medium, Sagan was the most advanced director in pre-war Germany.
Sagan's cinematography is an excellent example of what Eisner calls "stimmung" (emotion), which suggests the vibrations of the soul through the use of light.
Sagan also pioneered the cinematic convention of superimposition of one character's face over that of another to symbolize a deep psychological connection between them.

Although the movie's lesbianism was actually a quiet metaphore for the anti-facist movement in Germany at the time, some of the movie's lesbian dialog(subtitles) and scenes were edited out by censors before it ever came to the U.S. The version of the movie we see here is the censored one that survived.

 Speaking of Gay Pride: Queer Folks in the Cinema
German films between the World Wars were so visually rich, and graced with such exciting characters and plots, that even video-renters who tend to eschew old movies are bound to have a good time.
Lang's M and Metropolis, Murnau's The Last Laugh, and Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari are four of the best-known titles from this era of filmmaking, but Leontine Sagan's Mädchen in Uniform, a rare Weimar film by a female director, deserves inclusion in the same honored list.

Films made by German women directors since the mid-1970s present a body of work that cannot be ignored; nor for that matter can the work of Leni Riefenstahl in the 1930s, although no feminist would want to claim her work for Nazis as feminist film.
Directors like Leontine Sagan, Helke Sander, Ulrike Ottinger, Jutta Brückner, Margarethe von Trotta, and Monika Treut have made a huge contribution to feminist film culture, but until now critics of the German Cinema have focused almost exclusively on male directors such as Lang, Fassbinder and Wenders.
We will examine how restrictive social, economic, and institutional conditions have compounded the neglect of women directors.
