‘THE THREE MUST-GET-THERES’
The French film comic Max Linder was one of the great stars of early cinema. Linder tried to break through in Hollywood with this parody of Alexandre Dumas’s novel and Douglas Fairbanks’s swashbuckling film of 1921. The Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek was able to restore the German version of this once-lost film in 1995.
‘NANOOK OF THE NORTH’
Robert Flaherty captured the traditional life of the Inuit on celluloid: one that was already easing to exist in 1920. The film depicts episodes from the everyday lives of a traditional Inuit family in fictional Nanook. It sets off from a trading post on a journey into the endless ice of the Canadian Arctic. While ‘Nanook of the North’ is not primarily a documentary, it is of secondary significance as an ethnographic film as it deliberately portrays traditional life from firsthand sources. We will screen the film in a reconstruction of the German version from 1924.
