Silent Film Festival: Stummfilm Live

September 05 - 15, 2024

This February 6, 1962 photo shows American silent film comedian Buster Keaton.

Under the motto "100 Years of Silent Film!" the Babylon Cinema is showing films that celebrate their 100th anniversary this year.

The extensive and varied programme proves that 1924 was a good year for the silent film landscape. Buster Keaton, Emil Jannings, Greta Garbo, Florence Vidor, Douglas Fairbanks, Betty Bronson and other great names in the art of film appear in the 25 films that will be shown during this year's festival.

Among others. the following films will be shown on the screen:

• «The Marriage Circle» by Ernst Lubitsch
• «The Thief of Bagdad» by Raoul Walsh
• «Michael» by Carl Theodor Dreyer
• «Quo Vadis?» by Gabrellino d’Annunzio
• «Die Nibelungen I – Siegfrieds Tod» by Fritz Lang
• «Das Wachsfigurenkabinett» by Paul Leni

All silent films are accompanied live by musicians. A special highlight is the performance of ‘Die Stadt ohne Juden’ by H.K. Breslauer, which will be accompanied live by klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and pianist Donald Sosin.
