STEPHAN GRAF VON BOTHMER: GEHEIMNISSE EINER SEELE

In the organizer's words:

Stephan v. Bothmer interprets the psychoanalytical silent movie drama live on the electric piano.

A scientist is tormented by terrible nightmares, an irrational fear of knives and the desire to murder his wife, until he finds himself through analysis. The old master G.W. Pabst created a film classic - bizarre, outstanding in its visual ingenuity and almost oppressively comical.

"Secrets of a Soul" dresses the popularization of Sigmund Freud's teachings in a feature film plot whose hero suffers from traumatic impotence, murderous jealousy and a blossoming imagination. [G.W. Pabst, D 1926]

From 1913 to 1933, Weißensee was an important film location that produced numerous classics.
