In the new "Organ Cinema at the Court" series, two special events will take place in the Court Church of St. Leodegar, combining the magic of silent films with the art of organ improvisation.
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1923)
The first concert in June presents the classic "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" with the impressive performance of Lon Chaney in the role of Quasimodo. This film, based on the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo, tells the moving story of love, rejection and the quest for acceptance against the backdrop of the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral. The haunting images and emotional depth of the film are brought to life by the improvised organ sounds of Stéphane Mottoul.
Sunrise (1927)
The second concert follows in September with Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's masterpiece "Sunrise - Lied von zwei Menschen". The film, which won three Oscars, tells the story of a country man who is torn between his wife and a seductive city woman. Murnau's innovative camera techniques and poetic visual language create a captivating atmosphere that is perfectly complemented by the sensitive improvisations on the organ.
Both events promise an unforgettable experience that will transport the audience into the fascinating world of silent film.
