It is a field of inquiry that can serve as a vehicle to uncover hidden histories of marginalised, overlooked, and forgotten figures and events. The unmade typically resides in the shadows: it is not a tangible media object that one can watch, or hear, or see. The unmade remains absent from history, forgotten even, while the remains of the unmade are often scattered across archives, incomplete and fragmented. So what is the use in studying something that is so mysterious and that defies typical methods and approaches? Well, arguably, it is in how the unmade can act as a conduit to understand a range of intersecting histories of gender, nationality, culture, politics, and industry. The unmade can tell us much more about the way film and media industries operate and the barriers that many have faced to production throughout history. As part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baftss.org\/early-career-mentoring-scheme\">BAFTSS New Connections<\/a> programme, and hosted by the CCRI, Dr Hanja D\u00e4mon recently delivered a talk examining the radical possibilities and the multiplicity of histories that a case study of the unmade can reveal. What follows is a reflection from Hanja on the implications of her ongoing research.<\/p>\n<p><strong>James Fenwick<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My academic research interest in unproduction histories\u2014engaging with films that were never made or remained unfinished in some way\u2014was sparked during the last year when looking into the contexts of Austrian film production post World War Two. Having written my PhD thesis on German film production in occupied Germany between 1945-1949 (in which I also mention unmade film projects and argue why these might not have got off the ground), I had been wondering how the Austrian film industry fared in the early post-war years. In contemporary newspapers, I came across titles that were planned but never made and I started to wonder why.<\/p>\n<p>My subsequent (independent) research has focused on an unmade film project that was publicised in the Austrian and Hungarian press, as well as in US trade papers like <em>Variety<\/em>, between 1946 and 1947. It was slated to feature and be crewed by well known figures, such as the actor Anton Walbrook (born Adolf Wohlbr\u00fcck in Vienna and at that time living in the UK, although his participation was never confirmed) and the operetta and film music composer Robert Stolz. The planned film\u2019s main attraction, however, was the return to Vienna of Hungarian-born interwar star Franziska Gaal, who had risen to international fame in German-language films of the 1930s and who had made her Hollywood debut under the direction of Cecil B. DeMille alongside Fredric March in 1937. Two more Hollywood films followed, after which she returned to her native Hungary. When mass deportations of Hungarian Jews began she was forced into hiding, where she remained until freed by the Soviet troops, who recognised her due to the immense popularity her films had enjoyed in the 1930s in the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n<p>One post-war German-language project starring Franziska Gaal commenced production in Budapest\u2019s Hunnia-film studio after 1945. It was reportedly about a young king who eventually turns out to be a woman, but the film, which alongside Gaal would have boasted an additional stellar cast including the famous Austrian actor Hans Moser, remained unfinished. \u00a0It was the production conditions in post-war Hungary that must have contributed to this film remaining unmade. While this project, entitled <em>Ren\u00e9e XIV<\/em> or, alternatively, <em>Der K\u00f6nig streikt<\/em> (The King is on Strike), has been mentioned in connection with Gaal, no one has so far ever addressed another project planned for production only a little later. In development by the production company Kollektiv-Film between 1946-47, it was intended to be filmed in Vienna\u2019s Rosenh\u00fcgel studios. Entitled <em>Tizia<\/em> (or sometimes <em>Pingulin<\/em>), it was scheduled to start filming in February 1947, but it too remained unmade.<\/p>\n<p>Austrian newspapers announced the planned endeavour as a \u201cFranziska Gaal-Film\u201d, which was a trademark in the 1930s guaranteeing entertainment in the form of well-made musical comedies.\u00a0 The intended project was to be \u201ca humorous film with a serious background\u201d, casting Gaal as a \u201cfemale Chaplin\u201d character (<em>Mein Film<\/em>, 3 Jan 1947, p. 18). Gaal was presented with forty-one story proposals to choose from. She selected a story that focused on an innocently convicted woman just released from prison after five years. It depicted her subsequent life in a fantasy republic. It was to propagate humanism and to show in a satirical way how existing rules and regulations can sometimes interfere with leading a happy life (See <em>\u00d6sterreichische Kino-Zeitung<\/em>, 21 Dec 1946).<\/p>\n<p>At this time, the Rosenh\u00fcgel premises in the Soviet sector of occupation allowed for the making of only one film at a time (Vienna was at this time divided amongst the four Allied powers into a Soviet, British, French, and US sector). The writer Carl Zuckmayer, on the occasion of a trip to Vienna to inspect the film situation there for the Americans, found the premises well suited for film production. He believed the premises were owned by the Kollektiv-Film company, run by two Polish brothers whose unexplained wealth made them seem rather dubious. However, his belief was a misconception, with the Rosenh\u00fcgel studios used by many other companies to produce films, while the Wien-Film was most typically associated with the studio. Yet, Zuckmayer\u2019s concerns about where the Polish brothers had obtained their money from to finance films was mirrored in the Austrian press, which alluded to the brothers as being mysterious.<\/p>\n<p>A co-founder of the Kollektiv-Film company was the Austrian filmmaker Franz Antel, who would become a prolific director in terms of the numbers of films made in his decades-spanning career (as a feature film director from 1946-2003). At this time, Antel was treated with suspicion by the three western powers for his \u201cwartime Nazi activities\u201d, so had to kick-start his post-war film career under Soviet auspices (see <em>Variety<\/em>, 13 Aug 1947, 10). Antel also wrote in his memoirs that he did not know where his two Polish co-founders, Alexander and Julius Sheberko, had gotten their money from, but he did not care, citing it would have been \u201cna\u00efve\u201d if one had probed too deeply in such matters. It turned out that Antel at this time bore his own secrets that would interfere with the company\u2019s production success, affecting his ability to obtain a trade license necessary for making films in post-war Vienna. This mainly relates to his transfer from Austria to Germany in 1936, where he soon took up German citizenship which he retained until 1960, an aspect of his biography that remains underexplored.<\/p>\n<p>Kollektiv-Film\u2019s first (and in the end only) film was <em>Das singende Haus<\/em> (<em>The Singing House<\/em>). The shooting of the film was, according to Antel\u2019s memoirs, \u201cno fun\u201d. Indeed, the film\u2019s production took much longer than planned due to the difficult filmmaking conditions in post-war Vienna. One problem was an electricity shortage in the winter of 1946\/47 , which required all filming to stop for weeks. By the time the second film planned by the Kollektiv-Film\u2014the project with Franziska Gaal\u2014was scheduled to start shooting, filming of <em>Das singende Haus <\/em>was still ongoing and had not yet wrapped up. Franziska Gaal\u2019s Austrian comeback was thus delayed and, in the end, never made.<\/p>\n<p>Time-bound difficult production conditions aside, Franz Antel\u2019s failure to procure a trade license (in German: <em>Gewerbeberechtigung<\/em>) impacted on the Kollektiv-Film\u2019s ability to continue making films. Its possession would even have been a prerequisite to start producing films in Austria in the post-war period, so for this reason it is in fact surprising that the company managed to make <em>The Singing House<\/em>. The Kollektiv-Film was under pressure from the Austrian \u201cAssociation of the Film Industry\u201d \u00a0to provide the trade license and subsequently reported Kollektiv-Film\u2019s lack of one to the municipal authorities.<\/p>\n<p>The trade license was, however, withheld. This was because when Franz Antel finally requested the license in the midst of filming <em>The Singing House<\/em>, information emerged that he had been a member of the National Socialist Workers\u2019 Party (NSDAP) since 1933. This made him unsuitable in the eyes of the relevant magistrate to work as a film producer. As a consequence, he was going to be added to the registry of \u00a0former Nazi party members. Antel tried to clear himself to avoid such registration. No NSDAP membership number emerged in connection with his name, which helped his case. It is therefore plausible that the filmmaker indeed had never joined the party, despite having claimed in 1936, after arriving in National Socialist Germany from Austria, that he was a party member (but, like he argued in the post-war period, he might have stated this to gain employment in the German film industry).<\/p>\n<p>However, even after he was deemed exempt from registration in post-war Austria, a trade license was never issued to the Kollektiv-Film.<\/p>\n<p>Antel\u2019s presumed association with the Nazi party aside, which rendered him an unsuitable candidate to be a film producer, one further argument in not granting the Kollektiv-Film a trade license was that too many production companies had been founded since the war. There was approximately sixty companies in total, an extremely large number compared to the scant studio space available in Vienna where films could be made, although not all of them were in operation or possessed the means to actually make films. Therefore, since Antel, in contrast to other companies, had proved his capacity to produce a film with <em>The Singing House<\/em>, his lawyer contested the decision, but ultimately without success. Unable to continue making films under these circumstances, the Kollektiv-Film collapsed. One of the Sheberko brothers allegedly soon left the country after co-founding the company and assumed a different name, while the other brother was later imprisoned in Germany and charged with having been involved in dollar forgery. In the years that followed, Franz Antel tried to hold off the company\u2019s liquidation (intended for 1952) because the Kollektiv-Film had been inactive for years; he hoped he could still receive revenues from the <em>The<\/em> <em>Singing House<\/em> as long as the company existed. For the reasons stated above, the Kollektiv-Film never made its planned second film.<\/p>\n<p>I find the case of the unmade Austrian post-war \u201cFranziska Gaal-Film\u201d important because of how so few former stars and filmmakers of the interwar German-language films who had been forced into exile eventually returned to participate in the Austrian film industry. In the case of Franziska Gaal, the assumption had previously been that her \u2018type\u2019 had remained \u2018unwanted\u2019 after 1945, as had been the case during the National Socialist dictatorship. Yet, the planned post-war Kollektiv-Film project reveals numerous newspaper articles that heralded her return to Vienna, which I find slightly reframes the story and the history of Gaal. My archival research, as well as my use of contemporary newspapers (both in library collections and online databases), reveals reasons why the planned film was never made and illustrates the complexities of filmmaking in post-war Austria. Electricity shortages that severely delayed film production in the winter of 1946\/47 certainly contributed to Kollektiv-Film\u2019s second film from being produced, as did\u2014and arguably more importantly\u2014denazification policies. Finding out about Antel\u2019s NS registration case prompted me, moreover, to investigate further into the filmmaker\u2019s past, findings which will be addressed in a forthcoming article. This exemplifies how studying an unmade film project\u2014which was my starting point\u2014can reveal multiple layers and facets of those involved.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear when Gaal herself knew that she would not be making the project. On the 7th May 1947, <em>Variety <\/em>noted that Gaal was \u2018passing up a film role\u2019 with the Kollektiv-Film, when the actress was about to return to the USA. Reports about the planned Gaal-project continued to appear in the media until August 1947 (claiming that Gaal was expected to return from the USA to be involved), but nothing ever came out of it, and the plan for this post-war film project drifted into oblivion.<\/p>\n<p>Studying the unmade invites the exploration of production contexts of a certain time and place, and investigating this case study made me curious about what other films were planned for production in Austria but never were. This is why I am currently planning to develop a post-doctoral project on this topic. As the case of the unmade Franziska Gaal-Film demonstrates, researching unmade and unfinished projects may reveal hidden histories that have been forgotten. They merit rediscovery and analysis to expand historical knowledge as well as to re-examine previous assumptions about the past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Hanja D\u00e4mon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Cited Sources<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Antel, Franz, <em>Verdreht, verliebt, mein Leben<\/em> (Vienna: Amalthea, 2001)<\/p>\n<p>Zuckmayer, Carl, \u2018Allgemeiner Bericht \u00fcber die Filmsituation in Deutschland\u2019 in: <em>Deutschlandbericht f\u00fcr das Kriegsministeriem der Vereinigten Staaten<\/em>, ed. by Gunther Nickel, Johanna Schr\u00f6n and Hans Wagener (G\u00f6tttingen: Wallstein, 2004)<\/p>\n<p>Archival documents held in <em>\u00d6sterreichisches Staatsarchiv <\/em>and <em>Wiener Stadt- und Landesarchiv<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>About the BAFTSS New Connection Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <em>New Connections<\/em> Programme is a BAFTSS scheme supporting early career researchers and academics on fixed-term contracts, encouraging them to broker a fresh relationship with an academic institution.
