Silent film classic "Terje Vigen" will be screened at Cinématte, Bern on October 17th with live soundtrack as part of the series "NEW SWEDISH FILMS" which will run at Cinématte until the end of the year.
"Terje Vigen by Henrik Ibsen". So reverently begins Victor Sjöström's powerful drama, the film that became a world sensation. Terje Vigen is regarded as the gateway film to the Swedish Golden Age, the years between 1917 and 1924 when directors like Sjöström and Mauritz Stiller, along with cinematographers like Julius Jaenzon, made Sweden a leading film nation. Swedish directors used nature in a way that had never been seen before: here, the vast images of sea and mountains were not a backdrop - nature was part of the human drama of the film, it played one of the roles. The images of man and sea in Terje Vigen are breathtaking.
Live scoring: The brothers Simon, Nolan and Brian Quinn and the pianist Stefan Nagler have many years of extensive experience in the composition and live performance of their soundtracks to masterpieces of the silent film era.
Cinématte Bern 17 October (19:00), silent film with live soundtrack
