Stummfilm mit Livemusik: "Cyankali"

In the organizer's words:
In the series on films of the New Objectivity, we are showing a film from 1930 - a plea against the abortion paragraph 218. The silent film will be accompanied live by Alexandra Lehmler (saxophone), Matthias Debus (double bass) and Erwin Ditzner (percussion)
CYANKALI
DEU 1930. D: Hans Tintner. D: Herma Ford, Grete Mosheim, Nico Turoff, Claus Clausen, Paul Henckels. 91 min. silent movie with live music. 35mm projection. FSK: n. A.
This late silent film, which already has some sound and dialog scenes, is a socially critical manifesto against the harsh abortion law 218: Hete Fent, pregnant, works as an office worker in the factory where her fiancé Paul also works. Without a high income and without a shared apartment, it is difficult to care for the child, but they decide to have the baby. But when Paul is fired after a strike, the need becomes too great. Hete wants to have an abortion - an "angel maker" gives her cyanide...
The film, based on a play by Friedrich Wolf, is a strong plea for legal abortion and looks at the social circumstances of a young couple's plight in the tradition of working-class films from the Weimar Republic.
We are showing the film in analog 35mm projection.
