In the organizer's words:
Silent film with live music by Ensemble Garage at the COMEDIA Theater Cologne: Female Comedies is an enjoyable journey of discovery through early film history and presents seven short films by and with women. The project by Cologne-based Ensemble Garage sheds light on the creative power of women in the pioneering days of film. In their films and film roles from 1906 to 1927, directors/actresses such as Florence Turner, Alice Guy-Blaché and Mabel Normand address the emancipation of women, among other things, and outline the concept of "women power" with a self-confidence that was unheard of at the time.
New soundtracks by composers living today underline the satirical wit, the cinematic quality and the relevance of these films, most of which are over 100 years old, to the present day. The genre of silent film music, a popular and challenging profession for advanced composers since Arnold Schönberg's incidental music for a silent film scene, is conquered here by a young generation: Marta Kowalczuk and Brigitta Muntendorf are prominent voices of the young generation of female composers, Felix Kubin is a border crosser between experimental music, radio play and club culture.
Theresa Szorek will lead through the program.
