SILENT FILM ON THE MOVE STUMMFILMREISEN
Since 2005 Gerhard Gruber has traveled to many places in the world to present his world of silent films. His travels have taken him from Los Angeles to New Zealand, from Murmansk to Tasmania. What struck him again and again was that people's reactions to silent films were the same everywhere. Only the "cultural behavior" seems to show differences, inside we are all the same. Different cultures have produced different types of silent films, but the emotional and intellectual response seems to be the same everywhere. Silent movie - the language of the heart.
Seit 2005 ist Gerhard Gruber an vielen Orten der Welt unterwegs, um seine Welt des Stummfilms zu präsentieren. Von Los Angeles bis Neuseeland, von Murmansk bis Tasmanien haben ihn seine Reisen geführt. Was ihm immer wieder auffiel: die Reaktion der Menschen war überall die gleiche. Nur der "äußere kulturelle Mantel" scheint Unterschiede zu zeigen, im Innern sind wir alle gleich. Verschiedene Kulturen haben unterschiedliche Arten von Stummfilmen hervorgebracht, die emotionale und intellektuelle Antwort scheint überall dieselbe zu sein. Stummfilm - die Sprache des Herzens.
