Film series Fritz Lang. The silent period
The Fritz Lang. The silent period series proposes a return to the years when cinema was learning to think in images. A pioneer and perfectionist, Lang made each film an exercise in narrative precision, where fate, guilt and power unfold like parts of an implacable mechanism. His works not only shaped the language of silent cinema, but also anticipated many of the questions of the 20th century.
About this event
The retrospective covers key titles from his filmography, from the symbolic dimension of Der müde Tod (The Weary Death) and the legendary epic of Die Nibelungen (The Nibelungs) to the futuristic vision of Metropolis and the unsettling criminal world of Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler. Myth and modernity, faith and technology, order and chaos coexist in all of them, in a constant dialogue that turns every shot into a reflection on the world emerging after the First World War.
Each screening will feature live musical accompaniment, with pieces composed and arranged by musicians such as Juan J. Ochoa, Jorge Gil Zulueta and Mélodie Gimard, recovering the original experience of cinemas of the period and bringing a new sonic reading to the images.
The series invites audiences to view silent cinema not as a relic of the past, but as a living territory where the image thinks, unsettles and continues to engage with the present.
