The epitome of expressionist film and at the same time its ultimate highlight is Robert Wiene's THE CABINET OF DR.CALIGARI. Created in 1920 in the studios of the film town of Weißensee, it is an expression of its time, a work of art reflecting on the war and post-war period. The original music by Giuseppe Becce (1920) contributed significantly to the film's breakthrough, after the premiere with a different music initially had little success. Becce's music was reconstructed in the 1980s. With the help of the Düsseldorf Film Museum, the conductor Burkhard Götze was able to locate this music again and re-edit it. Richard Siedhoff synchronized it perfectly with the Murnau Foundation's new 4K|Ultra HD restoration.
In the Theater im Delphi, which is located not far from where the film was made on today's Caligariplatz, this music will have its Berlin premiere with the Metropolis Orchestra Berlin under Burkhard Götze.
Film sponsor and Berlinale veteran Dieter Kosslick will give a special insight into his personal relationship with Caligari in a conversation with Knut Elstermann.
The patronage for this project is the cinema legend Armin Mueller-Stahl taken over.
