Moderne Zeiten - Stummfilmvertonung mit Live-Musik

In the organizer's words:

Modern Times - Silent movie soundtrack with live music

Organizer: Björn Jentsch

In the silent film "Modern Times" (1936 Charlie Chaplin), Chaplin fights against the challenges of industrialization and the world of work. The monotonous and mechanical everyday life drives him mad. When he falls in love with a homeless girl, they end up searching for an optimistic future together.

Chaplin's masterpiece remains relevant today, despite its age. In his humorous way, he criticizes universal, highly topical themes such as the effects of industrialization on society and the search for one's own identity.

Björn Jentsch sets the silent film to music with a wide range of instruments. Piano, percussion, melodica, glockenspiel and special effects are used to create a precise tonal mood.

Jentsch has been scoring silent films, theater and dance plays for over 20 years. His sophisticated scoring technique with different instruments, some of which are played simultaneously, makes him unique in the scoring scene. In each of his productions, the artist puts his musical skill, his irrepressible joy of playing and his sensitivity.
