GME Presents Silent Classic Films from Germany and the Soviet Union

Two new digital publications expand GME’s offerings for academic use and study of classic silent films from abroad. THE CITY WITHOUT JEWS (1924) is a prescient and arresting German silent film about the persecution and deportation of the Jews, presaging the horrors of the Nazi era. Half a dozen other feature films made between 1919 and 1924 in Germany and Austria also focused on their plight: DER GOLEM (1919), LOVE ONE ANOTHER, 1922), and THE ANCIENT LAW (1923). Separately, this Blu-ray edition of THE BOLSHEVIK TRILOGY adds the works of Vsevolod Pudovkin to GME’s distribution of films by significant Soviet filmmakers for academic study and appreciation. This digital publication comprises this filmmaker’s cinematic trilogy MOTHER (1926), THE END OF ST. PETERSBURG (1927) and STORM OVER ASIA (1928), which collectively depict the tumultuous history of the Russian Revolution; CHESS FEVER (1925), Pudovkin’s short film about the Moscow chess craze, is presented as a bonus title on the Blu-ray edition.
