Fri. 01 August 2014<\/strong> Original Title: All Quiet on the Western Front<\/em> “At the front, you\u2019re either dead or alive, that\u2019s all.” All Quiet on the Western Front<\/em> tells the story of young high school student Paul, who goes off to war for Germany during the First World War. His teacher persuades him and his entire senior class to volunteer for military service. After a short time, their initial enthusiasm for fighting for the fatherland fades, and the young group longs for nothing more than to return home. During a home leave, Paul visits his family and realizes he no longer has anything in common with them or his old teacher. Back at the front, he encounters even younger soldiers being sent into battle as cannon fodder\u2026<\/p>\n We are extremely proud to present one of only two remaining 35mm prints of this famous anti-war film in the world, directly from the holdings of the Library of Congress, Washington, USA, in cooperation with the D\u00fcsseldorf Film Museum \u2014 a film that, according to our research, hasn\u2019t been shown in Cologne for over 80 years!<\/p>\n New musical version for organ, live electronics, and audio playback by Wilfried Kaets<\/strong><\/p>\n Wilfried Kaets makes use of the unique acoustic capabilities of the renovated Klais organ \u2014 now enhanced with electronic sound colors and a computer interface \u2014 to compose a contemporary film score. His music respectfully leaves space for the powerful and still stylistically influential images of the film while breathing a new, distinctive spirit into them.<\/p>\n
