Ken Adam & Chaim Heinz Fenchel – German-Jewish Film Architects
Film Screening as Part of the Exhibition "Between the Lines"
As part of the exhibition Between the Lines, we are presenting two films by the Berlin-born German-Jewish film architects Ken Adam and Chaim Heinz Fenchel.
Program
2 pm – Introduction
Dr. Lea Wohl von Haselberg, Artistic Director of the JFFB
2:10–3:30 pm – Film The Trouble with Money
The Trouble with Money (Komedie om Geld, NL 1936, directed by Max Ophüls, 79 min., original version with English subtitles) – production design: Heinz Fenchel
3:30– 4 pm – Break
4–4:15 pm – Film This is the War Room
As a prelude to Dr. Strangelove we will screen a documentary on Ken Adam’s working methods: This is the War Room (DE 2017, directed by Boris Hars-Tschachotin, 12 min.)
4:15–6 pm – Film Dr. Strangelove
Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (GB 1964, directed by Stanley Kubrick, 95 min., original version with German subtitles) – production design: Ken Adam
Chaim Heinz Fenchel
Chaim Heinz Fenchel (1906–1988) was among the most sought-after film architects in Germany during the 1920s. In 1933, he fled into exile and worked in Austria, the former Czechoslovakia, France, Denmark, and the Netherlands. The Trouble with Money was his final film. In 1937, Fenchel emigrated to Palestine, where he worked exclusively as a classical architect. He became known for his elegant cafés and luxury hotels. The Trouble with Money is a comedy about a respectable bank director who suddenly loses a large sum of money.
Ken Adam
Ken Adam (1921–2016) emigrated with his parents and siblings to London in 1934. He studied architecture there, served as a pilot in the British Royal Air Force during the Second World War, and entered the film industry as a production designer in the 1950s. He created his most famous sets for the James Bond films and for films by Stanley Kubrick. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a dark satire about a helpless American president and his war-obsessed advisors planning the use of a nuclear bomb.
In cooperation with the Jewish Film Festival Berlin Brandenburg (JFBB)
