14th Silent Movie Festival Karlsruhe as guest at ZKM
Cinema of Passions
Wed, March 09, 2016 – Sun, March 13, 2016, Festival
The familiarly diverse program will whisk silent movie fans away into a cinema of passions this year. Love stories take a central position, with not all ending inescapably in tragic catastrophes – in some films in the program, the conflicts resolve themselves with humor.
To name just a couple of highlights: For fans of suspense, this year’s programme has a film by Alfred Hitchcock for the first time. And the youngest fans of silent moves will also get their money’s worth with the children’s program. The Culinary Cinema heads for maritime – both on the screen and on the plate – and the public will be listening to the famous Karlsruher Ensemble Kammerflimmer Kollektief during the film concert. The festival team is particularly looking forward to an evening with the Japanese film narrator Ichiro Kataoka and a special performance will be taking place on the subject of racism in cooperation with the »Week Against Racism«.
As well as the ZKM_Media Theater, the main sites for these events will be the students’ union on Adenauerring and the Kinemathek cinema.
