Cinemaconcert The Phantom Carriage!
In the Cinema Concert The Phantom Carriage, a new electro-acoustic score for this famous silent film is performed by a 22-piece ensemble of the Metropole Orkest including Sterre Konijn (vocals, theremin) and Jorrit Tamminga (live electronics). This new score was composed by no fewer than 16 (!) Dutch composers in close collaboration under the direction of Bob Zimmerman.
Premiere Sunday, December 18, 2022 at 16:00h in Room 1 of Eye Filmmuseum
VPRO Cinema about The Phantom Carriage: Renowned silent film, based on the book by Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940), the author of 'Nils Holgersson's wonderful journey' (1906). Director Sjöström convinces like an expired man who goes through the dust on the other side. As punishment for his unscrupulous existence, after his unfortunate death, he is forced to collect the dead souls in a carriage for a year. But before he starts, his predecessor gives him a tour through time, a journey that makes clear how much havoc he has wrought. The Phantom Carriage was a groundbreaking film - and a favorite of Ingmar Bergman - for its non-linear narrative style and overlapping images (double exposure). Timeless entertainment.
The project is financially made possible by Fonds Podiumkunsten, SENA Performers, Buma Music-in-Motion, Investment Fund Music 2 (thanks to the Kunstenbond/VCTN), and Eye Filmmuseum.
