The Munich Film Festival is over, but you can still celebrate: The open-air series of the Film Museum starts on July 6th in the inner courtyard of the City Museum. Silent films with live musical accompaniment will be shown on ten evenings until the end of the month, including the German melodrama “Die Frau, nach der man sehnt ist” (1929) with Marlene Dietrich, Charles Chaplin’s short film “Easy Street” from 1917 or Victor Sjöstrom’s literary adaptation “The Wind” (1928). In the second half of the month, “talkies from Hollywood’s heyday” have been announced, more precisely masterpieces such as John Huston’s “The Maltese Falcon” (1941), Ernst Lubitsch’s “Ninotchka” (1939) or “A Night at the Opera” from 1935 the Marx Brothers. The Film Museum will then say goodbye to the summer break, and in September it will continue in the cinema hall.
