Pabst : Masks and Solidarities

On the initiative of the magazine Panorama-cinéma and in partnership with the Goethe-Institut, we present a substantial cycle of around twenty screenings dedicated to the filmmaker Georg Wilhelm Pabst. In addition to his legendary silent films (Loulou, La rue sans joie) and some new restorations, we have also unearthed several rarely shown films from our collections which testify to the richness of an all-out filmography, accompanying the tribulations of his time, for better or for worse. This major cycle is accompanied by a book co-published with Panorama-cinema, with the support of the Goethe-Institut.

La rue sans joie by Georg Wilhelm Pabst

As a historical document, as a social picture of an era, La Rue sans joie fully deserves its qualification as a realist. But expressionism is still present, through its themes, through its style.
