Filmconcert: City Girl
The James Whale Orchestra - Stadsschouwburg De Vereeniging
Program Info: Oliver Parr - City Girl
Piano Ernst Paul Fuchs Harp Carla Bos Cello/Banjo/Composition Oliver Parr
In City Girl, a breathtaking silent film from 1930, a romance unfolds between a waitress and a young, naive wheat farmer. The James Whale Orchestra captures the emotions of the scenes during this screening, combining technology with live soloists for an immersive experience.
During this evening you will enjoy the film and orchestra together.
The production of City Girl was described as simply breathtaking and an emotionally intense experience. A silent film is not a sound film, but a completely different form of art. Something that film director FW Murnau understood like no other. The story takes place in rural Oregon. But it is certainly not your average Hollywood story. Both the girl and the farmer cherish a dream that is mercilessly opposed by the young man's tyrannical father. With beautiful camera work, use of lighting effects, coupled with the vast landscapes of Oregon, the film creates an enchanting contrast with the rough, raw and sometimes violent events that take place. City Girl takes you on an emotional journey through love, longing and the struggle against the limitations of fate, all against the backdrop of an era marked by economic hardship and human resilience.
