Film Plateau: Ich glaub’ nie mehr an eine Frau (1929)

This early German sound film, starring the world-renowned Austrian tenor Richard Tauber, was until recently recorded as lost. Thanks to research at the research center CIMS (UGent) and a collaboration between the Cinematek and the Deutsches Filminstitut, this recalcitrant melodrama about forbidden love, desire and homesickness in a port city can be admired again in its full glory. Although the film has fallen into oblivion today, this crowd-pleaser continued to grace the halls in Ghent and other Belgian and Dutch cities for months and even years. Almost a hundred years after production, Film-Plateau is proud to unleash the Belgian premiere of this restored version on the young Ghent audience. This screening will be introduced by film history lecturer Daniël Biltereyst. in collaboration with Film-Plateau
