PANDORA‘S LEGACY
by Angela Christlieb


It’s a great pleasure to announce that PANDORA‘S LEGACY by Angela Christlieb will celebrate it’s world premiere at the 2024 International Film Festival Rotterdam


GW Pabst: film director, patriarch, “the Great Unknown”. The giant of German-language cinema, at last told privately and artistically in all his in all his contradictoriness. Silent films interweave with real stories in a journey from the 1920s to today. A film about dream and trauma, about an enormous artistic, film-historical and personal heritage and about the change in the image of male pose and female power...
