Treasure from American Film Archives Presented with Live Music.
March 28, 2008.
On March 28, at the Cinematheque at Cologne’s Philharmonic Hall, American composer Yati Durant conducted a live performance of a music piece that he specifically created for the 1925 Hollywood classic "Lady Windermere’s Fan." The movie, which was directed by Ernst Lubitsch, is in the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and generally considered one of the all-time finest examples of American silent film. In 2002 it received the U.S. National Film Registry Award. The live performance of the new original musical score at the film showing made this a special evening of American cinematography in Cologne.
