Nasty Women / Nasty Women – Freche Frauen im frühen Film
S
ilent film with live music from the Ensemble Garage: Female Comedies is an entertaining journey of discovery through early film history and presents seven short films by and with women. The project highlights the creativity of women in the pioneering days of film with music from today, ranging from electronics to experimentation.
Directors/actresses such as Florence Turner, Alice Guy-Blaché and Mabel Normand addressed, among other things, the emancipation of women in their films and film roles from 1906 to 1927 and framed the term “women power” with a self-confidence that was outrageous for the time.
New soundtracks by composers living today underline the satirical wit, the cinematic quality and the relevance of these films, most of which are over 100 years old, to our present day. The genre of silent film music, which has been a popular and challenging profession for advanced composers since Arnold Schönberg's accompaniment to a silent film scene, is being conquered here by a young generation: with Marta Kowalczuk and Brigitta Muntendorf there are prominent voices of the young generation of composers, with Felix Kubin a crosser of boundaries between experimental music, radio plays and club culture.
Theresa Szorek leads the program.
