In the organizer's words:
In our series of events on New Objectivity films, a socially critical silent film with live musical accompaniment by Laurent Leroi:
DIE VERRUFENENEN
DEU 1925 D: Gerhard Lamprecht. D: Aud Egede-Nissen, Bernhard Goetzke, Arthur Bergen, Mady Christians, Heinrich Zille. 116 min. FSK: n. A.
A film "based on the experiences of Heinrich Zille" - and the socially critical painter himself actually appears at the beginning of the story: Engineer Robert Kramer was in prison for perjury. After his release, he can no longer find a foothold in bourgeois society. He is disowned by his family and cannot find work because he has a criminal record. The prostitute Emma rescues him and takes him in - but becomes involved in a robbery-murder together with her brother.
The main focus of the film lies in its precise observations of the milieu: It goes into the back alleys and corner pubs, to the homeless, the unemployed, the petty criminals. And was highly praised by contemporary critics: "I am not ashamed to admit that I often had tears streaming from my eyes. This film is a social deed, born of a love for the poorest of the poor." (Lichtbild-Bühne, 1925)

Introduction: Erich Siebert
Silent film with live music by Laurent Leroi (accordion). The musician began playing the accordion at the age of eight and is at home with his music in many genres: he enriches street music and folk festivals, literary readings, theater or film with his energetic, versatile, unpredictable, passionate music.
