Lost 1929 German musical restored for screening nearly a century later
Original: Een verloren gewaande Duitse musical uit 1929 zal, bijna een eeuw na de première, opnieuw volledig gerestaureerd vertoon
A German musical from 1929 that was long considered lost is being shown again in a fully restored version, almost a hundred years after its premiere. Screenings are planned in Ghent and Bruges. The film was reportedly a huge blockbuster in the 1930s, running in Ghent almost non-stop for four years.
Why now: The rediscovery and restoration of a long-lost silent-era musical, with new screenings in Belgium, has drawn attention from film history enthusiasts.
