    A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream (1925) restored

    Uploaded 4 August 2023

    One of the films I was most looking forward to at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival was the world premiere of the previously lost German film, A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream (1925) because I had as Director of UCLA Film & Television Archive initiated the project. Another bonus was the screening on Thursday of Die groβe Liebe einer kleinen Tänzerin (1924), a short puppet film that premiered in Bonn last year, then screened in Pordenone, and was co-directed by Alfred Zeisler, who coincidentally I have been researching for the past several months. Both films reverberate in different ways with the legacy of German Expressionism, which by the mid-1920s had given way to New Realism. Zeisler would go on to be a semi-important commercial director and one of four producers at UFA in the early 1930s, on par with Pommer, Stapnenhorst, and Duday, before emigrating to America.

    Austrian-born theatre and film director, intendant, and theatrical producer Max Reinhardt (1873-1943) was one of the great innovators of the theatre in the early 20th century. In 1920, he established the Salzburg Festival with the performance of Hugo von Hofmannsthal's 'Jedermann'. He also directed several films, including Sumurûn (1910) and Das Mirakel (1912). Reinhardt profoundly influenced the expressionist movement in German film and his staging of crowds and use of lighting were appropriated by F. W. Murnau, Ernst Lubitsch, and Fritz Lang. In 1934, he went into exile and made in Hollywood A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935).
