Carl Wilhelm
Carl Wilhelm (born 1872 in Vienna; died in London 1936), was a prolific German film director, film producer and screenwriter of the silent film era, at the end of which his career apparently entirely faded away and he vanished into obscurity. Life After his first work, the short documentary film ''Ein vergnügter Wintertag im Berliner Grunewald'', made for the producer Oskar Messter in 1909, Wilhelm worked for many other Berlin production companies. For example, in the years before World War I, he filmed for ''Deutsche Mutoskop- und Biograph GmbH'' in Lankwitz and ''BB-Film-Fabrikation Bolten-Baeckers'' in Berlin-Steglitz, Steglitz a series of comedies starring the silent film star Leo Peukert. The two comedies he shot in 1913 and 1914 with Ernst Lubitsch - ''Die Firma heiratet'' and ''Der Stolz der Firma'' - were very successful. As late as 1919 a critic could write: "''Die Firma heiratet'' and ''Meyer aus Berlin'' are still our best films."Bobby E. Lüthge im ''Film-Kurier'', ...

Silent Film
A silent film is a film with no synchronized recorded sound (or more generally, no audible dialogue). Though silent films convey narrative and emotion visually, various plot elements (such as a setting or era) or key lines of dialogue may, when necessary, be conveyed by the use of title cards. The term "silent film" is something of a misnomer, as these films were almost always accompanied by live sounds. During the silent era that existed from the mid-1890s to the late 1920s, a pianist, theater organist—or even, in large cities, a small orchestra—would often play music to accompany the films. Pianists and organists would play either from sheet music, or improvisation. Sometimes a person would even narrate the inter-title cards for the audience. Though at the time the technology to synchronize sound with the film did not exist, music was seen as an essential part of the viewing experience. "Silent film" is typically used as a historical term to describe an era of cinema pri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
