UFA Films Nights @ Bozar

It was a quite unique film legacy that was left to us from the 1920s by great directors like Fritz Lang, Joe May, Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau and Ernst Lubitsch as well as visionary producers such as Erich Pommer. The cinematic achievements of this time continue to have an enormous influence on today’s film business, despite the many technical developments and changes in the zeitgeist.

The UFA Film Nights are jointly presented by UFA and Bertelsmann. After very successful events in Potsdam (2011) and Berlin (since 2012) they are now travelling to Brussels for the second time to thrill new audiences with Germany’s historic legacy in silent film.
