Rapunzel in Cinema 1897-2024

I was hoping to find some silent film versions of this fairytale, and very curious as to how they might have staged it. The first filmed version seems to be Oskar Messter’s short film in 1897, and although I can’t find it online, there’s a German documentary (in German) on the director, here. It’s been animated a lot, including as part of an American (USA) television animated anthology…

FULL STORY=> http://ift.tt/2xFIfjl Die Deutsche Wochenschau (Noticiero alemán de propaganda) http://ift.tt/2xFIfjl Die Deutsche Wochenschau fue el título de la serie unificada de noticiarios publicados en los cines de la Alemania nazi desde 1940 hasta el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La producción coordinada de noticiarios se creó como un instrumento vital para la distribución masiva de la propaganda nazi en la guerra. Hoy en día los cortometrajes conservados de Wochenschau constituyen una parte significativa de los registros audiovisuales de la era nazi. Los noticiarios habían sido proyectados regularmente desde los primeros días del cine alemán, especialmente durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, cuando compañías como Messter Film empezaron a producir cortos documentales de cine mudo. Con el cambio final a las películas sonoras a principios de los años treinta, el mercado de los noticiarios se concentró en cuatro compañías de producción dominantes: Universum Film AG (Ufa-Tonwoche y Deulig-Tonwoche), Fox Film ), y Tobis (Tobis-Wochenschau). Después de la Machtergreifung nazi en 1933, la producción fue supervisada y censurada por el Ministerio de Propaganda de Joseph Goebbels, que se había dado cuenta del enorme significado de los noticiarios para sus propósitos de propaganda. Conla invasión alemana de Polonia en septiembre de 1939, marcando el estallido de la segunda guerra mundial, las autoridades nazis unieron los cuatro noticiarios en uno, llevado por Universum Film AG en Berlín. Estos noticiarios se fusionaron en un solo noticiero de guerra, pero mantuvieron sus respectivos títulos de apertura hasta junio de 1940. Después de eso, la fusión se hizo pública mediante el uso de un solo título de apertura: Die Deutsche Wochenschau Esta fue la única serie de noticiarios alemanes hasta que la producción se interrumpió en marzo de 1945.

”But from the age of 16, the violently suppressed longing for the theater became ever stronger. So I had no other choice than to act secretly in theater, i.e. I became another person in the evening, took a false name and played it straight on. I led so a double life of which nobody knew anything; during the day a good businessman, in the evening an idealistic actor. [...] After a short military time I was hired to Berlin. Here I played my first role in the film "Werner Krafft" at Messter Film in 1916. From then on, I acted in a movie after another. I slowly penetrated deeper and deeper into the mysteries of film art, I worked and studied nonstop. Three films from this first period remain remarkable: “Höhenluft” with Henny Porten, Richard Oswald’s “Unheimliche Geschichten” and Lubitsch’s “Madame Dubarry”. All this time I was still acting in the theater.” (free translation)
