WALKING ON THE WILD SIDE
Late Nite Show

As usual, this year's Shorts All-Nighter will be showcasing Festival highlights from the various genres. Also, by the time dawn breaks, we will have screened lots of erotic stuff, lots of amusing stuff and - of course - lots of kisses. First and foremost: the first ever kiss in the history of film. Yes, dear voyeurs, in 1896 a Mr Rice and Mrs Irvine snogged for all of thirty seconds and that in front of a running camera. Then you can see some more rare footage in the form of French skinflicks from the 1910s - accompanied for your delectation by a "live" piano performance.
Den Spielfilm der Langen Filmnacht KISSED präsentiert die kanadische Regisseurin Lynne Stopkewich persönlich!

HISTORICAL MOVIES

Thanks to IT (Clarence Badger, USA, 1927) Clara Bow was to epitomise the "flapper". 'It' was the term coined by Elinor Glyn for 'sex appeal' and Clara Bow was 'it' on and off the screen. Popette Betancor, German Cabaret Prizewinner in 1998, will be accompanying the film on the piano. Frances Marion, star scriptwriter of the 1930s, directed the melodrama

THE LOVE LIGHT in 1921. It features Mary Pickford and will be accompanied at the Festival by Joachim Bärenz live on the piano. A lot of people are looking forward very much to the film FLEUR DE PARIS starring singer and dancer Mistinguett. At its première in Paris, the film packed out the motion picture theatres for months. Thought to have been lost without trace, this newly restored copy will be enjoying a second première in Dortmund. Piano accompaniment by Ruth Bieri. The entire repertoire of lip-trembling emotion and extravagant gesture as exhibited by the Italian silent movie divas can be seen in the compilation DIVA DOLOROSA. "These films are full of sexuality without showing real sex," remarks Peter Delpeut, "The divas acting and their films are one big kiss".
