German Expressionism refers to a matter of creative movements that happened in Germany during the 1920's, these developments were a part of a larger Expressionist movement within North and Central European art. It is a movement that is inspired by many medias such as theatre, architecture, music, painting and sculpture.
The first expressionist films made up for their films being so low budget by using designs with wildly non-realistic, geometrically absurd sets, along with painted designs on the walls/floors to represent lights, shadows and objects.
