Menschen Am Sonntag: Ein Film Ohne Schauspieler (1929)

Shot in semi-documentary fashion using non-professional actors, this account of a day in the life of a group of ordinary Berliners is considered a pivotal example of late “New Objectivity.” The 2005 restoration by the Netherlands Eye Film Institute, in German with English subtitles and a contemporary score by Elena Kats-Chernin, will be preceded by the experimental short Polizeibericht: Überfall [Police Report: Accident] (1929) dir. Ernö Metzner; 21 minutes.

Film screening followed by discussion.
