5th Silent Film Festival

The Karlsruhe Silent Film Festival, which began as a »weekend of silent films«, is now taking place for the fifth time. In the context of this year’s festival, the student cultural center will present two films »Das Wachsfigurenkabinett« and »Bergkatze« along with the two main films »Metropolis« and »Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari«. These films will be screened at the Studentenhaus and at ZKM.
Live music will accompany all of the films. Joining several well-known established ensembles will also be something new to discover and hear this year: The ensemble »Sorpresa« led by Felix Treiber, former member of the Badische Staatskapelle, will play an arrangement of original chamber music by Gottfried Huppertz.
