scifirenegadeThe first newsletter I recieve from the Danish Film Institute is about Olaf Fønss and about how self-absorbed he was. Great.
Except it's more than that. It's about fan culture.
Here's the article if you want to take a look-see.
( Some observations )
EDIT: Silent Film festival in Copenhagen! Lots of good stuff!
Managed to track down another book from the Veidt shelves (speaking of that nice pic of him posing by his bookshelf as if he's deciding on what he should read).
It's Gábor Vaszary's Monpti. Which is the age-old tale of boy meets girl, girl says she's rich while she's actually poor, boy dumps girl, girl gets hit by a car and dies, boy is sad.
This man has this and Silone's Bread and Wine on his shelves. The duality.
And speaking of Connie, you can now watch Die Große Sehnsucht (1930) on the Digitaler Lesesaal. Thank you, Bundesarchiv! Since Herr Veidt plays himself in this, it's a great showing of his persona at the time (read that I wrote persona and not person).
The ever-elusive Uncle Walt short by Robert Swarthe has been found. It's not good, as many elusive and mystical pieces of ~ lost media ~ are.
