SUMMARY:Silent Film Concert "The Thief of Bagdad"
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, 06. April 2024\,\n8 pm\nCologne\, Bischofsgartenstr. 1\nAdmission: 7 €  \nInfo\nGeneral:\n\nThe Thief of Bagdad\nUSA\, 1924\nDirected by: Raoul Walsh\nRunning time: 147 min\n16mm silent film\, English intertitles \n\nShort and Sweet:\nA clever thief competes with a Mongolian ruler for the hand of a beautiful princess.\nHowever\, what begins as a game unexpectedly turns into true love\, complete with adventurous complications…\nMusical Score:\n\n\nNew musical score by Wilfried Kaets for piano and sound playback: \nThe music is composed as a reminiscence of the great silent film scores of the 1920s.\nIt shifts between cinematic-historical\, contemporary\, and even experimental sounds—breathing “emotional life” into the film’s lavish images while also giving musical space to the director’s imaginative and experimental ideas. \n\nAbout:\nActor Douglas Fairbanks himself came up with the idea for this adventure tale from One Thousand and One Nights\, wrote the screenplay\, and took on the role of producer.\nAt the time\, he was at the height of his Hollywood career.\nAs a laughing thief and braggart\, he roams the streets of the oriental city of Baghdad\, which is under the rule of the Caliph.\nWith charm and brawn\, he cleverly uses his many talents to get by each day.\nBut ultimately\, he wants to prove himself worthy of winning the princess’s heart and\, as a heroic fighter\, overcomes numerous difficult trials.\nThis fantasy adventure—featuring special effects like a journey on a flying carpet and stylistic elements of expressionist cinema—is considered one of the masterpieces of silent film and remains an absolute must-see even 100 years later. \nMore Infos about the Movie: “The Thief of Bagdad”
