SUNRISE (1927)

Sobre el evento

Following the international success of F.W. Murnau's DER LETZTE MANN (THE LAST LAUGH, 1924), Hollywood producer William Fox (born Wilhelm Fuchs in Austria-Hungary) signed the director to a four-year contract and brought him to Los Angeles. His first film for the Fox Film Corporation -- later 20th Century Fox -- SUNRISE -- A SONG OF TWO HUMANS, earned widespread critical acclaim. The New York Times hailed the film as a "cinematic masterpiece," praising Murnau's ability to preserve the artistic sophistication of his German productions while working within the Hollywood studio system. Owing to its sublime direction and extraordinary cinematography, SUNRISE is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements of the late silent-film era. The UFA Film Nights will present the German premiere of a new 4K-restored digital version of the film, created by the San Francisco Film Preserve.
