    • Whitney Humanities Center | Films at the Whitney: ‘The Hands of Orlac’

      May 23, 2024
      Starts at 7:30PM
      On Campus
      Add to Calendar 2024-05-23T19:30:00 2024-05-23T19:30:00 America/New_York Whitney Humanities Center | Films at the Whitney: ‘The Hands of Orlac’

      Internationally renowned silent-film musicians Donald Sosin and Joanna Seaton perform live score!

      After a train crash, a renowned pianist wakes up in horror: his hands have been amputated and replaced with the hands of an executed murderer. Depicting an artist’s continuous descent into paranoia and madness, The Hands of Orlac is a haunting example of German Expressionism that reunites Dr. Caligari director Robert Wiene and actor Conrad Veidt in another spellbinding performance.

      Donald Sosin and Joanna Seaton bring their unique blend of keyboards, vocals and percussion to major film festivals—New York, TriBeCa, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Telluride, Yorkshire—and to MoMA, Film at Lincoln Center, AFI Silver, and other notable venues. They perform often at Italy’s annual silent film retrospectives in Bologna and Pordenone. They have appeared numerous times at Yale, Harvard, Brown, Cornell, and Emory Universities, and created scores for over 65 silent film DVDs on the Criterion, Kino, Milestone, Flicker Alley and other labels. Their workshops in silent film music and songwriting are popular with students of all ages.

      Robert Wiene directed the silent horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari in the aftermath of World War I, while the horrors of industrialized warfare and fanatical nationalism persisted. Political instability, hyperinflation, mass unemployment, and urban conflict defined the 1920s in Germany, giving rise to expressionist cinema. These conditions inspired hallucinatory films full of nightmares, mystery, crime, madness, and desire. Films at the Whitney presents two striking examples from this unique creative period in partnership with the Yale University Art Gallery and the exhibition “Munch and Kirchner: Anxiety and Expression.”

      Series curator: Lorenz Hegel, Ph.D. candidate in Film and Media Studies and German Studies
