    "what exactly do we mean when we say 'genre'? what relationship between the nation and cinema are we ACTUALLY exploring here? are we in danger of decontextualising?"

    exactly!

    "as any resident of the twentieth century will gladly testify, the creation of conceptual alliances between nation-states and filmic genres has, historically, led to certain crises of aesthetic faith (qua: hitler and heimat) which in the end require nothing less than a complete revisitation of the identity of a national cinematic vision (eg: syberberg's hitler ein film von deutchland)."
