Classics of humorous silent films - from Buster Keaton to Charlie Chaplin to Felix the Cat - completely analog and unabridged on 16 mm from the collection of Weimar silent film pianist Richard Siedhoff, who will provide musical accompaniment for the screening.

Since 2008, Richard Siedhoff has accompanied more than 400 silent film classics with his own compositions and improvisations on the piano and is considered one of the most sought-after young talents in his field. In addition to countless small events, he regularly performs at the Bonn International Silent Film Festival, the Munich Film Museum, Zeughaus Kino Berlin, City Kino Wedding, Kino Arsenal Berlin and numerous silent film events in Germany and abroad. Richard Siedhoff likes to travel to small events with his mobile 16mm cinema and film prints from his extensive collection. In times of digitized cinemas, these events have an incorruptible show value and charm that is often missed in our fast-moving times.
