29th November, Saturday, 20:00 / Tickets:

A 1927 German silent film directed by Walter Ruttmann, one of the best examples of the city symphony film genre (beside such classic as Dziga Vertov`s Man with a Movie Camera). It portrays the life of a city, mainly through visual impressions in a semi-documentary style. It shows one day in Berlin, the rhytm of that time, starting the earliest morning and ends in the deepest night. What is critically interesting about this particular film shot in Berlin, Germany is the time when it was made: several years before any clear National Socialist influence, and well before Joseph Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry took over all German film production, which stalled creativity and forced many filmmakers to leave the country. Today it is often watched as a filmed time capsule, providing a historical filmed record of the city of Berlin in the mid 1920s. <br><br>Live piano accompaniment by our resident pianist, Mila Maia.<br><br>Doors and Wine Bar open from 7:30 PM<br><br>RATED: 12+ | TIME: 65 minutes<br><br>SELECT ONE OPTION:<br>1.
