"Am Zentralinstitut für Jugendforschung sind seit 1967 in zahlreichen empirischen Untersuchungen Daten über das Verhältnis Jugendlicher und anderer Altersgruppen zum Film im Kino und im Fernsehen erhoben worden. So liegen bisher Angaben von 65.000 Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen zu ca. 1.200 Filmfragen vor. Mit dieser Studie sollen einige ausgewählte Ergebnisse vorgestellt werden, die wesentliche Entwicklungen in diesem Zeitraum abbilden." Folgende Schwerpunkte werden thematisiert: (1) Zur Entwicklung des Interesses bzw. der Beliebtheit ausgewählter Filmgattungen in den letzten Jahren; (2) Zur Nutzung ausgewählter Spiel- und Dokumentarfilme durch Jugendliche; (3) Zur Bedeutung ausgewählter Erwartungen für die Spielfilmrezeption Jugendlicher; (4) Ergebnisse zur Rezeption ausgewählter Spielfilme; (5) Zum Verhältnis von Spielfilmrezeption im Fernsehen und Kino. Die Ergebnisse zeigen u.a., "daß es der DEFA offensichtlich gelungen ist, den Mitte der siebziger Jahre erlittenen Prestigeverlust wieder etwas abzubauen". (psz)
