Organ Cinema: Woman in the Moon (1929) - silent movie classic with live soundtrack

Silent film by Fritz Lang with live improvised film music
Theresa Szorek, voice

Bezirkskantor Lars Schwarze, organ
Duration: 180 min incl. interval

German astronauts fly to the moon - in 1929! On board the rocket: Scientists, engineers, adventurers. But also uninvited guests: the spy of an economic power that wants to take control of the moon gold, and a little boy who has sneaked on board as a stowaway. And two lovers who are not allowed to find each other. Fritz Lang's last silent film is, like Metropolis (1927), a love story and a vision of the future: science fiction of the Weimar Republic. Director Lang invented the countdown for the launch of the moon rocket. He engaged the physicists Hermann Oberth and Willy Ley as scientific advisors, who were actually working on space rockets at the time and were convinced that a flight to the moon, as depicted in the film, could be realized in the very near future. A gripping space adventure from the last year of the silent film era, without which all future space films from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey to Interstellar would have been inconceivable.

Theresa Szorek, Fabian Luchterhandt and Lars Schwarze improvise the film music live to the film, drawing inspiration from the powerful and impressive imagery: 3, 2, 1 - rocket launch!
