Résumé

Shown in dif ferent formats—from cinema to television—in a variety of settings, this chapter outlines the role these f ilms played in discourses on sex education in the GDR in the 1960s, which for their part were highly inf luenced by psychology and pedagogy. The article will argue that these f ilms not only served the pedagogical function of teaching viewers about sexuality, but also aimed to (re-)produce the ideal of the ‘new man’ for a newly emerging socialist society that was to be founded on a new way of educating emotions. Since the education of youth was regarded a key issue for the construction of new selves, the medium of f ilm with its special attractiveness for the young generation can be viewed as an instrument for forming new subjectivities
