Stummfilmkonzert mit zwei Celli

In the organizer's words:

Cinema meets concert! In cooperation with the Förderverein Filmkultur Bonn e.V., Studio Trafique is showing L'INVITATION AU VOYAGE (FR 1927, directed by Germaine Dulac) and THE FROZEN NORTH (USA 1922, directed by Edward F. Cline, directed by Buster Keaton).

Cellophone: Paul Rittel & Tobias Stutz

The evening's journey begins with a visual ice bath: Buster Keaton's film THE FROZEN NORTH, in which he stumbles out of a subway station into a surreal snowy landscape and causes chaos. The journey is accompanied by the spherical sounds of the duo Cellophon. In their very unique way of accompanying silent films, they elicit unknown sounds from their cellos and turn the film concert into a pop-cultural palimpsest with musical references.

With L'INVITATION AU VOYAGE, the French avant-garde director, feminist and theorist Germaine Dulac has transformed a poem by Charles Baudelaire into a timeless, poetic, experimental film journey. The deep looks, strong emotions and dreamy, associative sequences not only allow the protagonist to escape her bourgeois life, but also allow her to take a short break from everyday life.

"[...] Dulac's slow, dreamy rhythm avoids any climax and above all: she psychologically avoids everything that lies outside this suggestion of moods." Elisabeth de Roos: French Film Art. Rotterdam: Brusse's Uitgeversmaatschappij 1931. Translated from the Dutch by Esther Kuhn
