SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Gay-Themed German Films of the Silent Era
DESCRIPTION:Screenings at Gerber/Hart Library and Archives. $5 Donation requested
 
 Variously banned, censored, and kept out of the public eye for decades, Richard Oswald's Tuesday, 3/13 DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS (1919) Carl Theodor Dreyer's Tuesday, 3/20 MICHAEL (1924), and William Dieterle's Tuesday, 3/27 SEX IN CHAINS (1928), are landmarks in the history of representations of homosexuality onscreen, as well as in the artistry of German cinema. 
 While German cinema is known to have flirted with provocative displays of homosexuality early on, these films from the Weimar Republic are unprecedented in their sometimes shocking explicitness, as well as for their sober handling of still-controversial material. Brought to life by many of the period's top talents on both sides of the camera, these treasures are a must for students and enthusiasts of one of the most fecund eras in film production.
