In the organizer's words:
The Electric House
Silent movie soundtrack by Björn Jentsch
USA, 1922 | Director: Buster Keaton, Edward F. Cline
As a newly qualified botanist, Buster Keaton is mistaken for an electrical engineer - and he is already in the middle of the task of equipping a house of the future with electrical wonders. Escalators in the living room, independent libraries and a bathroom with a life of its own: what begins as modern comfort ends in a wonderfully chaotic technological frenzy.
With his inimitable slapstick timing, Keaton shows how quickly technical achievements can become a trap - a satirical parable on the excessive demands of progress, which is more topical today than ever. When smart homes go on strike and artificial intelligence makes strange decisions, the electrical nightmare of 1922 is suddenly not so far away...
Live music: Björn Jentsch
Björn Jentsch - multi-instrumentalist, theater composer and experienced silent film dubber - provides the musical energy for this evening. With his creative arsenal of piano, melodica, flutes, percussion and a keen sense of timing and atmosphere, Jentsch transforms Keaton's technical satire into a sonic adventure. Jentsch's music enters into a genuine dialog with the film, transforming the silent film comedy into a sensual, vividly surprising experience.
Björn Jentsch has dedicated himself to the live scoring of silent films for many years - with a particular fondness for the works of Buster Keaton, whose subtle humor and precise body language provide an ideal basis for Jentsch's musical storytelling.
