Historia Secreta del Cine de Weimar
Village Recoleta - Vicente López y Junín
Room: 1
But more or less everything of it is forgotten, reduced to two or three footnotes. I wanted to take the audience to an adventurous trip to this lost time, a trip which should entertain, move, surprise and remind us all to an open wound in our past. Siegfried Kracauer, a forgotten genious, described this epoch in From Caligari to Hitler. This best-known German film book tells of fear, crisis and the longings for a leader in German film –in other words: the way cinema presaged the era of fascism, anticipated its terror and the moral and political collapse of a liberal society. Kracauer is the perfect guide to an era, which is fascinating in its contradictions. This fascination and, yes, my love for this time and its cinema, I hope to share. RS
